Accepting requirements draft as WG document (was: Two drafts post ed...)

["Putzolu, David" <[e-mail]>]

All,

I've seen several comments supporting inclusion of these
requirements as a working group document.  Barring some
strong arguments against doing so, I intend to go ahead
and have this document become associated with the ForCES
working group some time tomorrow.

Note that acceptance as a working group document merely
associates this document with the ForCES WG. It does not
grant any formal standard status to the document and the
document will remain open to change or removal.

Cheers,
David

Subject: Two drafts posted - Please review requirements as potential WG
document


All,

Two drafts have just been posted to the ID archive:

Requirements for Separation of IP Control and Forwarding
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-anderson-forces-req-02.txt

Netlink as an IP Services Protocol
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-forces-netlink-00.txt

The Netlink draft is informational material that is prior art relevant
to ForCES.  The Requirements draft is intended to eventually become a
standards track RFC to be used in guiding us in the ForCES effort.

During the last IETF meeting it was decided that a design team would
be formed to issue a new requirements draft. That draft would be based
on the two alternative requirements proposals that had been made. The
revision above is that new draft.

Per the minutes of the last meeting, we are asking the list to review and
comment whether this document is ready to be accepted as a ForCES working
group document or not.  Note that acceptance as a working group document
merely associates this document with the ForCES WG. It does not grant any
formal standard status to the document and the document will remain open
to change or removal.

Please submit your comments and recommendation as to whether this
draft is ready to be a working group document to the mailing list
by Wednesday, October 10th, 2001.

Thanks,
David & Patrick (forces wg co-chairs)
