[Detnet] comments on draft-ietf-detnet-oam-framework-06

[Lou Berger <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

In preparing my shepherd write up, I noticed a few minor/editorial 
points that should be addressed before submission for publication to the 
IESG.

- Number of authors:
The IESG requires justification for more than 5 authors listed on the 
font page.  This document has 6.  Is anyone willing to move to 
contributor? If not, can you provide a justification for more than 5 
authors

- Inclusion of conformance boilerplate (Section 1.3) and conformance 
language.

Generally informational documents do not include the conformance 
boilerplate or related language.  For example, there is none in the 
DetNet framework, RFC8939.  On the other hand RFC 4377, OAM Requirements 
for MPLS Networks, does.

Is there really a need for such in this document? If you do, the scope 
of the requirement needs to be clear. (E.g, the requirements are on 
future solutions "DetNet OAM solutions MUST..." or "solutions providing 
DetNet OAM MUST..."). Or perhaps just a statement to this effect at the 
end of section 1.3 or start of section 6.

Section 3-5 I really don't see the need for conformance language in this 
section.

- Section 3.4, s/NOT RECOMMENDED/expected

- Section 5.2
Can you rephrase/clarify the following sentence.  I frankly have no idea 
what is meant by it:

     We need to provide mechanisms to patch the network
    configuration.

That's it!

Thank you,
Lou
