Re: [CCAMP] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ccamp-rwa-wson-encode-16.txt

[Greg Bernstein <[e-mail]>]

Hi Lou and CCAMPers.  I haven't heard anything on this issue in two 
weeks.  One simple way out of this would be to just use a variable 
length field for the OIC using the ITU-T application string rather than 
a fixed 64 bit field.
If the ITU-T comes up with another specific encoding (64 bit or 
otherwise) in the future we can make sure to have a place holder. 
However, currently the ITU-T only defines application strings for this 
purpose.

If I don't hear any other suggestions in two weeks, I'll make the change 
to incorporate variable length strings and keep place holders for 
defining fixed length fields.  Then we can move this and related WSON 
documents into last call.

Best Regards
Greg B.
