[dhcwg] Adoption Call for draft-fang-dhc-dhcpv4-forcerenew-extensions-02 (Ends May 8, 2016)

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

Hi:

At the IETF-95 DHC WG session, Luyuan Fang gave a presentation on draft-fang-dhc-dhcpv4-forcerenew-extensions-02 (Forcerenew Reconfiguration Extensions for DHCPv4) - see https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/95/slides/slides-95-dhc-6.pdf.

There was a brief discussion about whether there was sufficient interest in the WG to take on this work and the conclusion was to take it to the list (which we would have needed to do anyway).

So, we are starting an Adoption Call for this draft (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fang-dhc-dhcpv4-forcerenew-extensions-02).

Please respond by May 8, 2016 whether you support having the WG take on this work. Please note that this means YOU need to be involved in resolving open issues, reading draft updates, and otherwise actively participating to move this work forward.

The abstract from the draft is:

   This document extends the definition of the DHCPFORCERENEW message
   for parameter reconfiguration in DHCPv4. This extension makes the
   DHCPFORCERENEW message more suitable to reconfigure configuration
   parameters other than IP addresses, and aligns the behavior of the
   reconfiguration procedure in DHCPv4 to the corresponding behavior in
   DHCPv6.

While not directly on the WG's current charter, we have confirmed with our AD (Suresh) that this would be acceptable work for us to adopt (no re-chartering will be necessary).
