Hi: I fully support Ralph in this. I want to make sure we can get the base draft through as that will likely take some time for the IESG to digest and we don't want a small issue to hold up this main work. - Bernie Volz -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Droms [mailto:rdroms@cisco.com] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 5:59 AM To: dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: RE: [dhcwg] Options in base doc for DHCPv6 The primary reasons to put existing options in parallel drafts are to simplify the base spec doc and to minimize the delay in getting the base spec to Proposed Standard. By retaining only those options required for the operation of the protoocol, we minimize the chance that any one option will hold up the progress of the entire draft. Moving some options into parallel drafts will not *incrementally* delay the progress of those options. If there is some problem with a specific option, retaining that option in the base spec will not move it through the process any faster. Rather, that problem will slow down the entire base spec, rather than just the one option. Remember that accepting DHCPv6 as a standard is not up to us. It doesn't matter how many times we've reviewed an option and whether we think it's OK. The IESG makes the decision - and I'm trying to avoid the scenario in which the entire spec is held up because we have to discuss and rewrite an option that the IESG has found a problem with. So, I don't see how moving existing options to parallel docs will *incrementally* slow down the acceptance of those options. I do see that one option might delay the acceptance of the entire base spec. Retaining just those options referenced in the base spec doesn't cost anything and gives some additional insurance against delaying the progress of the base spec. - Ralph At 03:29 PM 1/23/2002 -0800, Richard Barr Hibbs wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Ted Lemon > > Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 12:19 > > > > I don't see any reason to remove options about which there is no > > controversy from the DHCPv6 draft.
