Meeting Discussion:
-- Introduction
	Carsten provided an introduction to 6lowpan and the agenda
-- Routing Requirements

	After a short discussion and a review of the mailing list
	traffic Geoff and the working group decided that the
	Routing Requirements document was complete.  Geoff will
	prepare it for the IESG.

-- Use Case Document

	As there were some recent changes to the Use Case draft
	and some recent comments the group decided that there
	would be one more revision and then we would do a WGLC.

-- Header Compression Draft

	Jonathan Hui give a quick status update for the HC draft.
	After a short discussion the WG felt the the draft is
	ready for WGLC.  Geoff will issue a WGLC.

-- Security

	Ki-Hyung Kim gave a presentation on the Security Analysis
	draft.  The draft is an informational draft.  Last
	updated by Wasim Haddad of Ericsson July 2009. Part of
	the point of the draft is to understand that many
	security mechanisms that could be used on standard IP
	devices are problematic for 6lowpan devices due to
	memory, processors and power.  The question was asked if
	the document was ready to become of WG doc.  Most people
	appeared to have not read the document.  There was no
	consensus.  We need to take this to the list.

-- 6Lowpan MIB

	Ki-Hyung Kim made a presentation about 6lowpan MIBs.  Ideas included:
		generic parameters:
			device roles
			device capabilities
			routing protocol
		route over parameters
		mesh under parameters
		statistics

-- SNMP Optimization

	Hamid Mukhtar presented information about using SNMP in
	lowpans.  This is a follow on to his presentation at the
	last IETF.  New version of draft focuses on SNMPv3
	applicability.  Presentation covered: Contexts, Proxies,
	and use of snmp on lowpans.  While SNMP would fit in 15.4
	frames it would still use min of 67 bytes for snmpv3 and
	20 bytes for snmpv1 for just the headers, leaving little
	space for snmp data.

-- 6lowpan ND draft

	Zach Shelby presented information about the latest draft
	07.  There have been a number of small changes to the
	draft since the last IETF and draft 04.  The discussion
	during the presentation was focused on the base
	requirements that lead up to the draft.  One of the main
	topics of the requirements was and the necessity of DAD.
	If DAD is not required then the requirements for white
	boards and such maybe in question.  The WG felt that DAD
	was not a requirement and requested that the authors take
	the draft and split it into two pieces.  The first draft
	should focus on the most base functionality necessary for
	ND to work over 6lowpans, both for mesh under and route
	over networks and it must be compatible with RFC4861 and
	avoid single points of failure.
