However we read these proposals to re-invent things from the standards politics angle, the messages RIPE should send are:
The Internet with TCP/IP protocols is the global utility for communication these days. Any new standards, especially those tailored to particular operational domains like mobile, must be interoperable and any new deployments must interoperate.
I can't resist adding that, in hindsight, it would have been better if IPv6 had been backwards compatible with IPv4.
Hallway talk: the atrocious kludges that are deployed today for running Internet over mobile are partly due to the relevant standards bodies not talking.
Therefore anyone proposing to do work on standards needs to at least closely work with the IETF in the standardisation area if not work within the IETF.
As I presume we all know, standardization is a very competitive business, and forum-shopping is a fact of life. If one SDO does not deliver what participants want, they will move to a different SDO.
RIPE remains ready to provide a forum for discussing the deployment and operation of any new protocols and for developing operational guidelines.
Makes sense? Naive?
