RE: Charter questions

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

I have added the two AAA WG chairs.
Bernard/David, do you want the type of discussion on the
AAA mailing list as I suggest below, or would you rather
direct some of the AAA paritipants to the RAP WG mailing 
list?

Pls.. read my posting again. I did not make any assertion yet.
I reported what type of questions were/are coming my way.
and I do notice that we have an explicit statement in teh charter
that tells us to interact with AAA WG about these types of matters.

So I was asking: 

 So what kind of action has the WG taken or WILL the WG take
 in order to make sure that we do not overlap or compete
 in this space?

And so it seems that you do not agree with the allegations that
seem implicit in the questions that are getting to me. And so 
it seems that there is a NEED to interact with the AAA WG to
see where both WGs stand and how they understand each others
work.

So a way to start a discussion with the AAA WG chairs, or 	
on the AAA WG list and use the following text as a way to start
discussion as to the matter of overlap/conflict of work.
