Hi Carsten:

I'm not buying this.

The way the charter is worded we can do nothing on these issues because
we are not chartered to and that would be distraction to the chartered
items. If we wish to "fully understand what we want to do on these
issues", then we need at least to charter a Problem Statement work. 

But I'd think that flow control and ECN are known well enough already so
we could figure intuitively what they would do for 6LoWPAN; in that
case, the question is really whether we think there's a need for those
flow control and ECN to cover our own fragmentation, or not. 

It should not be rocket science for the people in this group to figure
that out and I haven't seen disagreement so far. There's advanced work
available from quite some time in this group on this issue, and taking
that work out now seems a bit arbitrary to me.

Pascal
