Re: Proposal for revised charter

Hello,

I am not a regular reader of the MOBIKE list, and sorry I am late to
make this proposal. But I bring it out anyway for your comments if
interested.

I think we should add more support in MOBIKE for allowing "simple
redirect" from one server to another. Although the draft has stated
clearly that load-balancing is not an objective, but simple redirect has
much more uses than load-balancing, such as redirecting a client from
the old server to a new one after moving to a new location. The value of
this is that it enables redirection problem to be solved at the IKE
level, in stead of having to resort to application level, which takes
more roundtrips.

I believe such enhancement can be achieved by defining new instruction
parameters in the place of ADDITIONAL_IP?_ADDRESS, and complete the
description of additional handlings.

If this charter change is approved, I can spare some time to draft the
changes for your review.

There seems to be not enough interest in the WG to revise the 
charter: only two people spoke up. I assume that the people at the 
face-to-face meeting who wanted to see the charter revised wanted to 
see the work done, but didn't intend to help do it, which is 
understandable.

Russ: please start the process to shut down the MOBIKE WG. I assume 
that Steve Bellovin, our mailing list host, will keep the list open 
indefinitely. If not, we can move it to VPNC.
