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.

    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.
