Jinmei, thanks for catching this.

For those not familiar with the issue. There were two issues regarding 
the RA improvement:
1. Relaxing the requirements on inter-RA intervals. This issue was raised by 
MIPv6. 
2. Eliminating random delays before sending RAs.Also a request generated 
by MIPv6.

Issue 1) was rejected under the assumption that DNA would come up with
a complete solution. I accidently sent that resolution through the tracker for 
issue 2), hence the apology below. However, I believe issue 2) (which was 
addressed in the fast RA draft) was also passed to DNA as discussed in Seoul. 
However, no resolution was formally sent for this issue by me. 
I went back to the Seoul minutes to confirm but couldn't find a specific mention
of this issue, while others were specifically mentioned. 

So, to avoid the confusion, I'd like to ask the WG whether they agree that this 
issue, addressed in draft-mkhalil-ipv6-fastra-04 (or later versions) should not 
be included in the current work of 2461bis. 

Please send your comments on this issue. I'll wait till the end of the week to 
give people a chance to respond.

thx,
Hesham
