Re: [DMM] Call for adoption of draft-clt-dmm-tn-aware-mobility-08 as a WG document - Objections

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

Looking agin at the document, I have multiple problems with adoption of 
this document.

First, as just discussed, it seems to be laying out an archtiecture, but 
that architecture is not consistent with the other work going on in the 
IETF (specifically in the routing area, and known to many of the 
co-authors of this work.)

Second, the document states that it is Informational, and then is 
written as if it is defining the one and only way to structure the 
needed system.

Third, related to the second, this document seems to assert that there 
is a specific and correct way to use IETF technology to solve the 
problem.  Then, about three quarters of the way through it remembers 
that there are multiple alternatives for some parts.  The IETF rarely 
writes implementation specifications.  There are other SDOs that do so. 
  They can wrestle with the problem of defining something that can be 
utilized by multiple operators with varying constraints.  Why would we 
want to get into trying to have that fight?

For the WG chairs, I am trying to figure out how this even fits the DMM 
charter.  It is a LOT more than network exposure, which is the closest I 
can see in the charter.

Yours, unhappily,
Joel
