* _[07.05]_ Meeting starts

* _[07.07]_ Administrivia _[2min]_
     * Approval agenda
        * agenda is approved
     * Approval minutes last call
        * last call minutes are approved
     * rechartering news
        * Telechat on January 21
* _[07.??]_ PlugTest  _[15min]_
     * Venue info
        * Paris, 2-4 Feb. INRIA. Near Gare de Lyon in Paris. Free Event. NDA.
        Registration 15 Jan deadline.
     * Sent test descriptions and tools to participants.
     * Walk-through tests by Xavi
        * test specs use 2 drafts:6top_sublayer and 6lo 6LoRH.
        *  13 tests, four of them warming. Not looking into the details of the
        packetsThese not as exhaustive as last plugtest. * Important piece is
        the 6top protocol test and then the 6LoRH * We'll verify addition,
        deletion, list and clear of cells through the protocol * We'll check
        the time out operation when the ack fails to come back * Will then
        check the RH3 and the RPI compressed by 6LoRH * This is a preliminary
        list, still going through in the coming weeks
     * Thomas: we are using the same tools as in Prague.
        * OpenMote can be sent early to participants to avoid basic failures
        * TengFei building golden image
     * TengFei: Going Through, golden should be ready in a few days [will this
     link to go mailing list?] I think so. * Thomas: did you get your questions
     answered * TengFei: I had questions. One was fig 13 and I got a reply from
     Pascal, fig will be removed.
        * The other thing I want to confirm is the IP in IP encapsulation last
        format: Is encapsulation address the same of the source address?
     * Pascal: Yes, this is the node that creates the IP in IP header, You have
     to provide it if it is not the root of the network but it can be elided if
     it is the root * Thomas: yes this is a substantial source of saving *
     TengFei: about 6Top protocol, is it mandatory to ack * Xavi: delete
     requires a response message indicating the success or failure of the
     operation. * TengFei: Do all the 6p commands require a response?
        * ACTION: thomas to add an issue in the bitbucket  tracker to specify
        explicitly that all commands require a response
     * Tengfei to ask what type of IES are (long or short). What is the status
     of the IANA IDs in 6P? * Thomas: Choose numbers in the test description
     and later change if we get the IANA numbers. * Jonathan: The IE ID of them
     to use to update the dissector. * Thomas: use some defined numbers and
     write them in the test description. * Pascal: add a suggested value in the
     draft. If it makes sense IANA may actually grant that one * Pascal:
     Charter will be discussed the 21st of January. THen adoption call of the
     6top sublayer (6P). * Xavi: will the 6lorh draft be split in two as said
     in the 6lo ML before the plugtest? * Pascal:  it can be done. * Michael
     Richardson: If this happens the tools at ietf will link old and new
     version so this is not a big problem.

* _[07.32]_ Minimal Draft  _[25min]_
     * concluding lass call on abstract / intro
     * Pascal: Last chance to do any modification. Conclude the call in the ML
     and indicate that the text is adopted. * Pat Kinney: typo in intro. 14.5
     instead of 15.4 at page 2.
        * action> Xavi to take the abstract and intro and modify the current
        draft.
* impacts on main text
     * Pascal: the coverage of protocols in minimal enough. Should it be more
     extensive? * Pascal: for me not. Architecture should be the general view.
     Minimal should collect the details for a basic configuration. * Pascal:
     architecture is informative reference to minimal which do not restrict in
     its publication.
* BCP or not BCP ?
     * Pascal: BCP indicates how things are put together. It is not defining
     missing things but glueing. * Xavi: some other documents at IETF define a
     profile or glue several things and are considered standards. Xavi is fine
     with any approach as long as this is coherent with other documents * Xavi:
     as a second and more important consideration. We want this document to be
     adopted by the industry. If BCP constraints that adoption we want it to be
     considered in the standards track.
        * Action: PT and TW to talk to AD and take an executive decision.

* _[07.49]_ Next steps  _[15min]_
     * draft SF0
     * Pascal: bundle is the set of cells between two neighbors. It is what is
     scheduled between A and B. * Pascal: Child should not care from which
     chunk it comes but it cares to which bundle it goes or from which bundle
     it is removes. We may have multiple bundles between nodes eg for tracks.
     We may also decide to have multiple bundles to represent ptiority. *
     Thomas: there may be different types of chunks to select from eg for
     priority. * Pascal: Well we may care for a type of chunk but not a
     particular chunk. Which exact chunk the cell comes from is the parent's
     cuisine. Today we have only one type for unicast cells with no risk of
     overlap but yes that should be discussed. eg we might have overlapping
     chunks which induce a risk of collision for use by statistic traffic of
     lower priority. * Maria-Rita: We should devise a simple scenario to
     position use of chunks vs. bundles
* _[08.06]_ AOB _[1min]_
     * Will Publish information on Plugtest location. INRIA Paris, near gare de
     Lyon. Register to get the information! * Need to start thinking about IETF
     954. Duration and topics for the meeting. Will be an item for next interim
     * Do not forget to register to the PlugTest!
* _[08.07]_ Meeting ends
