Sure.

If you have that impression in my argument, then it is not correct.
My standpoint is:
- We should not define something new without understanding the benefit.
- If 802.21 define something new and beneficial and without need to
change IETF protocols, then we don't need to communicate with IETF for
it.
- If 802.21 define something new and beneficial but that needs some
modification to IETF protocols, then we should communicate with IETF
so that IETF can analyze whether the modifications do not affect
interoperability and make actual modification to the IETF protocols
accordingly. I am happy to function as a communication channel
between 802.21 WG and IETF.
