RE: RE: AAAEXT charter, Take 1

Kuntal, John,

I think we should bring our focus back to the main question that Bernard asked:

"How do other participants feel about a "AAAEXT" charter?
Should we rename the potential WG and re-orient towards handling both
RADIUS and Diameter in a single WG?"

I agree that the charter should largely remain the same. The name change is
not the main issue here. If there is a general agreement on the work items
currently included in the charter then we should go ahead and start the 
real work.

It seems that John wants to add a new item to address Radius and Diameter 
compatibility.
Given that there is already R/D compatibility for prepaid and SIP I'm not 
sure what else
we need to add. Maybe support for common NAI and LAN/WLAN attributes. If so,
let's consider adding these items and move on. If adequate resources are 
available
to the WG to work on these new items (which seems to be the case) we should 
go ahead
and finalize the charter and start deliberating on the drafts that have 
been submitted so far.
