Minutes

* _[08.05]_ Meeting starts
    * recording starts
* _[08.07]_ Administrivia
    * Approval agenda
    > No issues raised. Agenda approved.
    * Approval minutes last call
    > No issues raised. Minutes approved.
    * updates
        * tsch draft completed and moved to the IESG for publication
        * validation of structural issues
        * security call this Tuesday
* _[08.10]_status minimal draft
    * **[Pascal]** completed last call for minimal.
    * Changes: state that we are not using the beacon to synchronize, sync is
    only achieved by data packets, beacons are not used to synchronize *
    Question: what is the coverage of the minimal draft in terms of security?
        * minimal draft should not address all the lifetime of a device, so it
        can be assumed that minimal starts after the key is known.
    * Issue on how to compress the routing headers.
        * we do not have any draft that we can point to indicating how to
        compress. We depend on other WG that need to adopt that proposals.
    * Options for the routing header:
        * delay minimal
        * use the default current mechanism, i.e. not compressing the RPL
        extension headers.
    * **[Xavi]** I believe we should ship without the compression.
    * **[Thomas]** Lean towards shipping without compression.
    * **[Michael]** +1
    * **[Diego]** +1
    * **[Michael]** Question is: how do we turn compression on if we add
    compression afterwards. We need to make sure that it is acceptable that
    nodes running future compression are backward compatible with current
    approach and in the other way, legacy nodes not accepting new compression
    would require the overall network to work without compression. we need to
    make sure this is acceptable. * **[Michael]** Solution might be to ship now
    as experimental, collect results from plugtest, finalize the compression
    work, and ship again in standards track. * **[Thomas]** we need to ask the
    AD and ETSI about interop testing. One of the outcomes is feedback to make
    standard better. What you are proposing fits well to the interop so we
    obtain that feedback. * **[Pascal]** what do others think > Consensus on
    the call than minimal should be published now as experimental *
    **[Pascal]** summary about RPI/RH3 discussions
        * talk on Monday to find a solution to compressing the RPL packets
        * 3 possible outcomes:
           * no changes to existing specs
           * only reset the FL to 0 inside the LLN. FL cannot be used for RPI
           * free use of the FL. as long as does not goes out of the LLN.
        * 6man is opposed to use the FL to carry RPL information
    * **[Thomas]** There will be an intern meeting cross-group call in a couple
    of weeks on RPI/RH3
* _[08:37]_ last call for the CoAP draft.

* [8:38] last call for the terminology draft.
> Action item: **all** to discuss new terminology draft on ML, by 1/16.
    * **[Rene]** proposes to publish current version and get the updates on the
    current version. > Action item: **Maria Rita** to publish current version
    of terminology draft. * **[Thomas]** points that terminology draft should
    be evolving and keep it open until we get to the end of the work on the WG.
    * **[Maria Rita]** agrees on having concepts there that eventually will
    evolve or will be removed. This is part of the evolution of the document.
