Title: RE: [Lwapp] Problem Statement Draft and Charter.

I looked at the problem statement which is very nice and clear but IMHO more appropriate for a standards group dedicated to 802.11 infrastructure standardization (something like 3GPP2 for CDMA 2000) and not the IETF. Is there such a body?

<PRC> IEEE, but we've already had this conversation many times. moving on...


The IETF could assist such efforts by standardizing 802.11 MIBs, PIBs, or LDAP schema. If this is not sufficient, then generic requirements should be formulated that are not well addressed by the current set of IETF protocols and should be addressed in the context of other security, management work, etc.

<PRC> Inter-SDO standardization has never been very successful and is very difficult to organize.


Otherwise we can start similar efforts for  802.16, 802.20, etc.

<PRC> We have already agreed to limit the scope to 802.11. If the resulting work is successful, and we are done, we can look at tackling other technologies.
