Tony.

I have a couple of 802.p/D2 items in my notes from the La Jolla
meeting, that I am not sure were reflected in the instructions to the
Editor attached to the minutes.

1) Group Registration (2.6.9.2) and Initial Membership Registration
(9.5.1.1) seem to imply that a mistake in the address registered would
disrupt connectivity for that address. For example a service user
requesting registration to the Broadcast address would prevent
Broadcast propagation to all other ports.

The consensus at the meeting was to address this by allowing management
to limit the range of addresses that allow registration.

2) Allow registration of static entries (9.1 a) and b) defines dynamic
entries only).  A MANAGER_REGISTER_GROUP_MEMBER primitive probably
needs to be added under 2.6.9



Thanks,
