<de> I'm not sure if "merge" is the best word. BABEL has completed all of
its important deliverables and there is just draft-ietf-babel-rtt-extension
going through. When it is approved, the plan is to close the BABEL WG and
to add BABEL maintenance to the next MANET Charter. That way MANET can
handle any minor BABEL work that comes along.

In previous meetings [1, 2] of MANET WG and on the Babel_mailing_list [3,

<de> I can confirm that that is the plan,

<de> I believe the MANET Chairs will be discussing such a plan.
