      • Action item: Thomas to announce pre-BoF meeting to the ML
    • Applications Area WG meeting
      • Monday 09.00-11:30
      • Pascal and Thomas will announce BoF there
      • all are welcome
    • BoF Questions:
      • Let's address them at the end of the meeting today
  • [08.07] Charter discussion
    • Work Item 2 Rewording
      • discussion about:
        • rewording work item 2: PCEP only handles a portion what is needed. This makes our work a larger task than required.
        • Work item 2 has been reworked:
          • Requirements and Architecture.
          • traffic from routing layer of the node to the PCE
          • traffic from 6top to the PCE
          • to manage both routes and schedule.
        • new text already in the charter
      • call for consensus

        No concerns raised. Language approved.

      • reword requires to reword 2c slides.
        • Action item: Maria Rita to prepare last version of 2c slides.
        • Action item: Pascal is working on the security item.
    • Work Item 3 Renaming
      • Work item 3 renamed to "6TSCH distributed routes and tracks management" for consistency with name of work item 2.
      • There were some questions on the ML about route management in the distributed case
      • Call for consensus on the new title

        Qin agrees with the explanation given by Pascal on the ML. No further concerns raised. Title approved.

    • Security Discussion
      • Context:
        • security is currently not a numbered work item.
        • Should we make it work item 7?
        • Leave the text as is and post the question in the BoF, Whether it has to be considered an other item or no.
      • [Rene] suggests to add the 7 in front of the work item as it is needed to have the security implications clear.
      • [Pascal] Can Rene prepare a new text to replace slide 15.
      • [Rene] Agrees to send note.
      • [Rene] We need to first come up with a requirements and architecture document before developing a solution.
      • [Thomas] Let's keep the charter text as-is for now, and wait for Rene's input.
      • [Maria Rita] if we define one more work item, then we need to redefine the work items in the slides.
      • [Maria Rita] I'm in favor of adding a 7 in front of the security text.
      • [Rene] If we do that, we need to set the scope of the work item to informational
      • [Thomas] shares his screen and edits the charter. Final text reads:

        7. Produce "6TSCH Security architecture and requirements", and depending on the security requirements identified in the document, the group may work on a security solution and ask for security area review. This document will aim at Informational.

      • [Thomas] Call for consensus on the new language.

        No further concerns raised. New text language.

      • Action Item: Thomas to push new language to repo, and send notification to ML.
    • Mobility Discussion
      • context:
        • should we support mobility in the charter?
        • we have identified 2 scenarios where a small number of nodes can move inside a static network (moving cranes and mobile worker)
        • we want to keep those use cases, but avoid that people think about swarms of mobile robots when hearing mobility
      • [Xavi] Mobility is a strong word and is not the main role of these types of networks. We have to be careful with mobility as this is not the core of that technology.
      • [Pascal] looking for a good term to talk about mobility in the 2c slides.
        • Roaming
        • slow mobility
        • limited mobility
  • Pre-BoF meeting agenda.
    • What do we expect for that pre-BoF?
    • [Pascal] We could have the exact same agenda as in the afternoon, the pre-BoF meeting would a rehearsal.
    • [Pascal] We need to leave at 11.15 sharp
    • [Pascal] Still leaves us with 1h45, so enough time to go through the complete BoF material
    • [Pascal] We can present the drafts during the pre-BoF meeting
  • [08.41] Walk-through BoF slides
    • Changes to the Agenda
      • we need more time for open discussions and questions
      • proposal: move part 3 to the morning. Keep rest of time for open discussions and questions.
      • draft presentations will be in the morning out of an "official" session
      • also recall two extra drafts in the morning. Present all 6 drafts
      • Action item: Thomas to create slides to present draft-watteyne-6tsch-tsch-lln-context-02 at pre-BoF meeting
      • Action item: Pascal to create slides to present draft-thubert-6tsch-architecture-02 at pre-BoF meeting
      • Action item: Thomas to announce changes to the agenda to ML.
    • Approval final slides
      • Almost all slides are final.
      • [Pascal] How to we handle questions during the BoF, we need to be clear.
      • [Thomas] Proposal:
        • at opening of BoF, chairs announce that only clarifying questions (no discussion) will be taken during presentation part (first hour).
        • BoF questions are shown during the presentations to allow people to reflect, but no discussion yet
        • after presentation, open mic for 20-25min
        • when discussion over, or we run out of time, questions will be asked to the audience. Last slides contains all questions.
    • Proposed questions:
      • is this a topic that the IETF should address?
      • are the goals of this WG clear, well-scoped, solvable, and useful?
      • how many people are willing to edit documents, comment documents, implement?
      • should a 6TSCH working group be formed?
      • should a 6TSCH working group NOT be formed?
  • [09.08] AOB
    • [Rene] During the BoF, it would be good to meet with the right people of other working groups (e.g. DICE, CORE) to discuss the possibility of a security solution which reuses as much as possible. That is, avoid to have to implement a completely different security solution for the different protocols in the protocol stack.
    • [Thomas] Good idea. Confirm that this is a "task" rather than an item for the BoF.
    • [Rene] yes.
  • [09.12] Meeting ends
