Mailing List Update Member count is 1969 and counting “wear a flower in your hair” Next meeting is in Haight-Asbury, San Francisco ;-) Remember member only posting is in effect Spam is signficantly reduced Sometimes people get annoyed at posts being held up The ietf.org mailman system is more automated and user friendly than the previous majordomo setup Use the list to discuss IETF MANET WG issues and items There are other appropriate lists/contacts for detailed simulation questions, FAQs,etc

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

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)
