Doing a review of draft-ietf-core-groupcomm-11, I noticed something we should probably change.

The section 3.5 "Group Member Discovery" is specifying the use of blind CoAP pinging (in practice flooding your network) in order to discover your group membership. The rationale for this made sense earlier, as we didn't have a mechanism to do this. However now that we have the group membership and lookup defined in RD, and that is now a WG document, I would suggest removing this ping mechanism and instead just referencing the RD specification as a way to manage and lookup group membership.

Thanks,
Zach
