Re: [Tm-rid] We need to update the TMRID charter

[Daniel Migault <[e-mail]>]

Hi Eric,

For the first point, It seems to me that it will depend on the architecture
document. If the document is sufficiently high level, we may not have the
rational for using HIP in the document. In that case we may have a another
document that provides a HIP-based architecture with some rationals for
using HIP. It might address the first bullet. So we may add to the
Architecture bullets:

* Architecture: The WG will propose a standard document that describes the
architecture that address the requirements and that will re-use protocols
or architectures already standardized at the IETF. The WG will define how
to implement the propose architecture and select the most appropriated
technology for it. If different technologies are selected, the WG will need
to make then interoperable.
