Suggested Resolution: This goal is mentioned in the problem statement, but not explicitly here, so I'd suggest we accept it.

Add Goal 11 which says:

Goal 11: Localized mobility management can be implemented and run independently of any global mobility management protocol

This enables the choice to be made independently of particular protocols that are implemented and deployed to solve localized and global mobility management. The operator can choose a particular LMM protocol according to the specific features of their access network. It can subsequently upgrade the LMM protocol on its own, ie without even informing the mobile nodes. Similarly, the mobile nodes can use a global mobility management protocol that best suits their requirements, or even not use one at all. Also, a mobile node can move into a new access network without having to check that it understands the LMM protocol being used there.

The goal is that the implementation and deployment of the localized mobility management protocol should not restrict, or be restricted by, the choice of global mobility management protocol.
