How about the mailing list indicated in the BoF text,
i.e., http://eeca16.sogang.ac.kr/mailman/listinfo/16ng

Could we pick one of the six mailing lists to discuss this BOF? :-)
I'm guessing int-area would be appropriate - any counterexamples?
Thanks,

Subject: A New BoF [16ng BoF: IPv6 over IEEE 802.16(e) Networks]
Folks,
We would like to announce a BoF at the upcoming IETF, leading to
identify what limitations and considerations apply to IPv6 adoption
over IEEE 802.16(e), and to propose available solutions. A mailing
list is set up at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a proposed description
is below.
==========================================
IPv6 over IEEE 802.16(e) Networks BoF (16ng)
CHAIRS:
Soohong Daniel Park<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gabriel
Montenegro<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
DESCRIPTION:
Broadband Wireless Access Network addresses the inadequacies of low
bandwidth wireless communication for user requirements such as high
quality data/voice service, fast mobility, wide coverage, etc. The
IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access Standards
develops standards and recommended practices to support the
development and deployment of broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area
Networks. In addition, IEEE 802.16e supports mobility over IEEE
802.16 as an amendment to the IEEE 802.16 specification.
Recently, much work is in progress by the WiMAX Forum. In particular,
its NWG (Network Working Group) is responsible for the IEEE 802.16(e)
network architecture (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, Mobility, Interworking with
different networks, AAA, etc). The NWG is thus taking on work at
layers above those defined by the IEEE 802 standards (typically
limited to the physical and link layers only). Similarly, WiBro
(Wireless Broadband) is a Korean effort based on the IEEE 802.16e
specification which focuses on the 2.3 GHz spectrum band.
IEEE 802.16(e) is different from existing wireless access
technologies such as IEEE 802.11 or 3G. Accordingly, the use of IP
over an IEEE 802.16(e) link is currently undefined, and will benefit
from IETF input and specification. For example, even though Neighbor
Discovery has been specified to work over point-to-point type links
(e.g., as available in 3G), it applies most naturally to link
technologies capable of native multicasing. Thus, it is not yet clear
how it would work over IEEE 802.16(e) networks. Even though these
supports a PMP (Point-to-Multipoint) mode, there is no provision for
multicasting IP packets, hindering the basic standard IPv6 operation.
An IEEE 802.16(e) connection for IP packet transfer is a
point-to-point unidirectional mapping between medium access control
layers at the ubscriber station and the base station. This eventually
requires convergence protocols to emulate the desired service on
network entities such as base stations, which may limit IPv6
features. As for fast mobility, the characteristics of IEEE 802.16e
link-layer operation may require an amendment to the Fast Handover
Mobile IPv6 scheme (RFC 4068), something which may be pursued in the
MIPSHOP WG.
The principal objective of the 16ng BoF is to identify what
limitations and considerations apply to IPv6 adoption over IEEE
802.16(e), and to propose available solutions. The working group may
issue recommendations to IEEE 802.16(e) suggesting protocol
modifications for better IP support.
In 2006, WiBro deployment will begin, and the WiMAX Forum is slated
to specify IPv6 operation over IEEE 802.16(e) in 2006. Accordingly,
the working group will work and coordinate with the WiMAX Forum and
with the WiBro efforts.
