[Smartgrid] Minutes of meeting of our first call (Oct 2 2009)

[Shidan Gouran]

I think you have covered it, also this thread is interesting from the
6lowapp group:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6lowapp/current/msg00117.html

<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6lowapp/current/msg00117.html>My
concern is if their is really a need for a whole new protocol to evolve or
if it's reinventing the wheel.
