The current charter refers to enabling IPv6 network access in
conventional NAS applications (e.g. PPPv6). Since Mobile IPv6 work was not
complete at the time the original requirements work was done, AAA for
MIPv6 was not included in the charter. 

In general, addition of a AAA WG charter item for MIPv6 is only
appropriate when the appropriate subject area WGs have completed their
work. So work on the authentication architecture for MIPv6 needs to occur
outside AAA WG where the appropriate subject matter experts
reside. Once those experts have reached consensus and produced a
document, the AAA WG can consider that document as input. This process
ensures proper coordination between the AAA WG and subject area WGs. 

So a AAA WG work item for MIPv6 is dependent on progress within the
BURP and MIPv6 communities.
