Re: [Add] The ADD WG has placed draft-boucadair-add-deployment-considerations in state "Call For Adoption By WG Issued"

I have a problem with the implied view here is that WGs can only adopt
documents they intend to publish.
That suggests, against our process, that documents that a WG adopts will all
be published.   When that's really a second decision.

The WG can adopt the document and not publish it.
WGs have done this with use cases and requirements regularly.
It can merge the contents into a protocol document (or documents).
It can remain as a reference of some kind to retain a history of WG
conclusions.   Adopting it costs nothing, but allows discussion of the
document to get priority over non-adopted documents.

The list of documents the WG has adopted is a list of things that a person who
wishes to participate in the WG needs to know about. (i.e.: Needs to read)

I agree with you: I don't know if the document will be useful as an operational RFC.
I think that many enterprise and ISP operators might appreciate the content.
That remains to be seen, I think.

But, since you say it's useful as background material, that implies that all participants
in the WG should be familiar with it.  So, by that argument, it should be adopted.
