> Hi Ray,
> I think this is quite reasonable and fills a role that likely needs filling within IETF. HGI will  help identify topics that need guidance by Homenet under this or similar charter.

> As one example, we (HGI) are looking at requirements for home network infrastructure devices (HNID) -- devices that support home networks segments between/among home gateways and end devices. The requirements range from system level to qos, mcast related issues, management, and diagnostics.  In a lot of this IETF clearly has expertise to bring to bear as do other SDOs.

> Speaking from HGI pov, Homenet will likely give us a place to address certain IETF protocol issues for the guidelines, requirements and test plans that we publish.
