Perceived Status/Issues

• Implementation and design work is very active
• Third party interest has increased
• There is reasonable implementation maturity and
  stability for several core approaches but more
  experimentation is being recommended
• MANET-related research creep has been a problem
  in the WG
• Our present rechartering effort will provide more
  scoped engineering direction

5
Charter And Milestone Revision

• Long Overdue
• ADs and Chairs have been formulating a strawman
  proposal
• Core Approach
• Reduce the near term scope of present WG
• Formulate an IRTF venue for manet research items,
  split off related research work
• Complete targeted EXPERIMENTAL RFC efforts
• Convert core work items to an engineering mode
• Target Common Proposed Standard effort(s)
