Re: [dhcwg] WGLC for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-design-03 - Respond by August 9, 2013!

["Bernie Volz (volz)" <[e-mail]>]

I finally had some time to carefully review this document (though it is late). But it turned out that Kim (co-author) was away this past week and so likely not much would have happened with the document anyway (see below). And, a few indicated they would prefer to have a bit more time (given the IETF meeting and vacations).

I do support this document moving forward.

However, the 03 version does have a bunch of mostly nits. And, I have a marked up paper version which I will review with Kim (hopefully over the next few days, but he may be busy catching up after having been away). I'd rather not have to list all of these nits in an email (spelling corrections, wording changes, minor errors). There are several TODOs in the document and a reference (TODO) to a non-existent section (on automatic transition of a server to partner-down after a configured time interval). I'd also suggest dropping some text, such as 8.2 Time Expression, as that belongs in a protocol document, not the design (there's no other text dependent on it). These must be cleaned up before sending the document on.

Reviewing my marked up document with Kim and having him update the document will likely be the best way to go (though of course there is no list to send out). But again, there's no significant flaws or issue that I found. Just a lot of fairly minor cleanup to do.

I hope to discuss the WGLC status with Tomek early next week (8/19) and then we will communicate the results.

If anyone else has any comments in support (or not) of the WGLC on this document, please let us know (by 8/19).

Subject: [dhcwg] WGLC for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-design-03 - Respond by August 9, 2013!


Folks, the authors of draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-design-03 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-design) believe it is ready for working group last call. Please review this draft and indicate whether or not you feel it is ready to be published. Your input is important!



This document is the 2nd series of documents related to DHCPv6 failover - the first is http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-requirements which is currently being reviewed by the IESG for publication approval.



At the time of this writing, there is no IPR reported against this draft.



As Tomek is a co-author, I will primarily evaluate consensus after 2013-08-09 (August 9th). This is a 3 week last call because of the Berlin IETF meeting and also because of summer-time vacations (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere).



Thanks,


-          Bernie
