Hola Rafa,
Hola Tina, thanks for your answer.
First of all, any comments about my question regarding charter point 4).?
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.
Secondly, I have just checked the e-mails in the ML but I failed to see
the interest as a work item. In fact, the only thing I have seen is one
comment in this e-mail:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/hokey/current/msg01623.html
where it is said that this should not be a separate work item (If I
correctly understood).
Am I missing something? Could you point me the e-mails I missed about
this interest?
Btw, the charter text says:
"Related work in external SDOs on authenticator interaction for
re-authentication may be taken into consideration."
I would be interested in the related work in external SDOs, could you
point out some references?.
As to the second question: one would have to look at the scenarios on the
slides, but I think they are still valid.
If they are still valid, then I don't completely understand the general
purpose/goal of this particular aspect. What are we trying to solve here?.
Best Regards.
B. R.

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?.

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.
