      - *[08.08]* IEEE802.15.4 changes (*Pat Kinney*)
      - chair of standards committee doing revision of 15.4
      - presents TOC
      - comments resolution is ongoing and will offer advise in this regard
      - letter ballot passed
      - SUN PHY, about 60 comments. Some issues left.
      - schedule of revisions, will be a push to get recirculation start by
      8/31.
      - 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.
   - *[08.35]* IETF90 summary
      - LLN plugfest (*Ines Robles*, *Xavi Vilajosana*) *[10min]* Ines
      presents
         - overview: lists participants and presentations at the plugfest
         - outcome:
            - Drafts were presented
            - Interest generated in the area. Good opportunity to look for
            volunteers and collaborators.
         - coverage:
            - All presentations are recorded and viewable.
            - Listed all presenters and location of recordings
         - *[Thomas,Pascal]* The plugfest was a great success and has
      received mentions from various sources including IETF chair.
      - *[Pascal]* gives 1min overview about flow label draft.
      - *[Thomas]* 8 teams of presenters. Acknowledges and thanks everyone.
   - *[08.45]* WG meetings (*Thomas Watteyne*, *Pascal Thubert*)
      - Meeting minutes published on bitbucket. Sep 5th is deadline for
      changes. Requests comments.

         requests native English speaking reviewers.
         - CoAPIE presented. Was received well.
         - Start thinking about how to merge it into other related drafts.
      - *[Qin]* discused with Carl and juergen about YANG model, got very
      good feedback about YANG model
      - 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.
   - *[08.58]* AOB
      - Extension for review of COMAN draft. Requests people to review to
      make sure problem statement is in line with what we want to do.
      - Summer schedule for 6tisch calls. Bi-weekly calls?
      - [Diego] Wants to know if there will be a 6TiSCH session at IETF91
      Hawaii.
         - *[Pascal]* it is still open. Discuss on mailing list.
         - *[Thomas]* Diego, can you start discussion on ML.

         Action item: *Diego* to start discussion on ML about 6TiSCH
         session at IETF91.
