 In your previous mail you wrote:

   I agree, we should not ignore the message. However, as we're
   basically finished with the MOBIKE base protocol, I don't 
   think we should talk about "reopening issue 8", since that 
   would be slightly misleading.
   
=> if it was not clear enough, I spoke about "reopening issue 8"
for *extensions* to the base protocol.

   What we can talk about is specifying an extension to the MOBIKE 
   base protocol that would provide the functionality Monami6 would 
   want. Determining what exactly the extension should do to satisfy 
   Monami6 needs will take time (especially since Monami6 itself will 
   take some time to stabilize -- after all, the WG was started 
   less than two months ago), so it will be a separate document.
   
=> I fully agree.

   Thus, this is not an "issue" for the MOBIKE base protocol document 
   or the design document (which explains why the base protocol was 
   done that way): it's a new work item for MOBIKE WG.
   
=> as far as I know "extensions" is one of the next work items.

   Currently, the issue tracker at www.vpnc.org is only used to track 
   issues for the base protocol document. New work items should be 
   tracked by changing the milestones in the charter instead.
   
=> it seems we agree. The issue 8 and the "initiator" decides everything
are the first two points to solve in extensions IMHO as they have bad
impacts in real world extra requirements.
