Building mechanisms for "header stripping" (whatever that may mean) clearly
is outside the scope of the WG.

Discussing them may actually not be.  Remember that our charter says:

"The working group shall maintain connections with other standardization
organizations developing cellular technology for IP, such as 3GPP and
3GPP-2, to ensure that its output fulfills their requirements and will be
put to good use."

For me, this means we have to understand how the 3GPP[n]s use ROHC, in
particular where they perceive alternatives and, in case we don't agree with
them, educate them about our view.  To do the latter, we probably need to
develop a WG view in the first place -- this may go as far as going back and
asking the IESG to put an informational document about the perils of
non-transparent header munging into our charter.

All this only applies IF header stripping is still on the plate of the
3GPP[n]s.
I would expect our liaison Krister to come back from Seoul with some input
on this from 3GPP.
Anybody know about the 3GPP-2 side?

Gruesse, Carsten
