    • Will go through a lot of comments about IEs. Not sure how channel hopping IE works in vendor-independent manner.
    • Security Issues in TSCH being looked at and being modified. Requests comments.
    • [Thomas] requests elaboration
    • [Pat] Comments on using Slot number. security issues related to this.
    • Cites sections being used by TSCH in the new draft.
    • Presents Channel hopping problem. One of the field lengths listed as variable.
    • We need a mechanism that gives determinism. PCA could work but not written specifically for TSCH. This needs to happen.
    • Upper ranges of PIB's not sufficient. Adding an octet to the whole IE.
    • CCA default values are wrong.
    • Presents proposed TSCH-MAC PIB default values
    • [Thomas] Points out issue with default attributed not being identified correctly.
    • [Pat] acknowledges
    • [Pat] Discussed the default value for the timeslot template.
    • [Thomas] Carrying full IPv6 packet is a good idea. There may be headers before that. So 1280 bytes may not be enough.
    • [Thomas] do you consider 868MHz to be same as 915MHz?
    • [Pat] Continues discussion about default values
    • CCA is important problem in EU also. Carrier detect takes more time that energy detect. All amendments need to be consolidated.
    • Discusses issue of wait time causing unfair channel access.
    • Proposed consolidation of detection time
    • [Thomas] needs to be below 802.11 duration
    • [Pat] proposes 23-24us
    • presents CCA threshold values and issues. Flexibility is important.
    • presents IE descriptor format issues.
    • presents clarification of MAC timing terms.
    • [Thomas] is AIFS the new term for macACkWaitDuration?
    • [Pat] acknowledges and confirms.
    • Clarifying when to send Imm-ACK and Enh-ACK.
    • Summarizes: Took on task of clarifying and consolidating all comments and amendments. Tyrell is taking security issues.
    • [Thomas] thanks Pat. Will contact with comments.

    • nobody converts between YANG and CBOR. YANG is a 2D table, with CBOR, they suggest that we need some IETF draft.
    • [Thomas] lots of activity around constrained version of NETCONF called CORECONF. Idea is data model is described in YANG and it can be accessed using CoAP and maybe CBOR.
    • [Thomas] If CORECONF exists, 6TiSCH CoAP draft could be merged with it. Cites other drafts that could also be merged into CORECONF. It will be 1 module for management. Will let the WG know as soon as it is more official.
