Hi all,

The subject variously referred to as "relative time" or "alternate time" 
now has a new name, "bundle age", and I-D.  This I-D reflects the rough 
consensus reached at IETF 77 in Anaheim for specifying an experimental 
Age extension block to be used as an alternate means of expiring bundles 
for BP implementations which may not have access to Universal 
Coordinated Time.  Many more people have been involved in this 
discussion and have contributed in some way to the I-D than are 
explicitly listed as authors in the draft.

The I-D is available here:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-dtnrg-bundle-age-block/

Comments welcome.

Thanks.

Dan Brown
