Hola Rafa,
One person made strong representations against the work as presented in the
meeting. On the other hand, there was definite interest in this topic on the
list before the meeting.
As to the second question: one would have to
look at the scenarios on the
slides, but I think they are still
valid.

Subject: Re: [HOKEY] 2nd draft of new
hokey charter
Hi Tina,
I have a couple of comments/questions about the
charter

I
was wondering what kind of "assistance to the 802.21a group in
specifying
the integration of EAP
pre-authentication with IEEE 802.21a" is
required?.

Related work in external SDOs on authenticator/NAS

If I understood
correctly from the last HOKEY WG meeting minutes (number
9 in the
minutes), the received comment was that this should be out of
the scope of
HOKEY, is that correct?.
On the other hand, I do not understand
very well what it is the
purpose/meaning of a specification for
NAS-authenticator interaction.
That is, I am not sure what it is trying to
solve. Now, there is a
change in the new text saying:
6) A
specification for inter-authenticator interaction. Authenticator
interaction can be
used to release resources in the old authenticator
and achieve faster
initiation of
authentication. Related work in
external SDOs on authenticator
interaction for re-authentication may be
taken into consideration.
Even with this change I am not able to
understand the purpose. Moreover,
does this change imply a change in the
the scenarios and goals included
in the slides presented about this topic
in last IETF meeting?.
My apologies for the questions but I am
trying to catch up with this.
Best regards.
