Hello mob group

Please find below the notes from today's conference call:

1. Representatives from AT&T, Intel, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, Motorola and Alcatel discussed MD-017 from Radhika Roy (AT&T) at the conf.call. The use of the word 'network' was clarified in that we shall use it in conjunction with addressing, i.e. 'network point of attachment'. Thus the figure 1 in MD-017 is to be modified to reflect this. The word 'home' in this figure is presently to be kept only for the GK and the Zone even though there was discussion to delete this word completely from the figure. The use of this word 'home' may be omitted from the figure altogether after more discussion later. This figure is to be incorporated in Annex H to show the 'intra-zone' communication scenario. The editor, will also consider to add some text to explain the boxes VLF,HLF and AuF, if these are also included in the new version of Annex H. Also from the email discussion and today's discussion the editor will incorporate text (as he sees fit) in appropriate sections of Annex H. The next version of the Annex will show all the new text added by the editor (with suitable revision marks), and indicate at the beginning of the Annex that the text with no revision marks is the only agreed text so far. This is to ensure that readers of the new version are not misled as to which parts of the annex are the agreed text and which are still for discussion. The editor, Jaakko Sundquist, will endeavour to produce this new version one week before the next conference call which is to be on Tuesday 9 May at the same time.

2. Steve Terrill (Ericsson) will enhance his last contribution MD-016 to explain the reasons behind his proposals. Also he will propose/discuss discovery mechanisms for the VLF.

3. Radhika Roy will produce a contribution to explain why it is necessary to include the word 'home' in the 'network point of attachment', i.e. explain the 'home network point of attachment'.

4. Paul Guram will consult Mr Okubo to see if a separate dedicated reflector can be started for the mobility group's use.

5. A number of contributions have not been discussed yet due to lack of time. From the material in these contributions, the contributors will make proposals to enhance/add/delete text when the editor submits the new version next time. This would be a better way to progress the work and also ensure that no-one's contribution is inadvertently discarded without discussion.
