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.

Paul
