Re: [Gen-art] Gen-ART LC review of draft-ietf-bmwg-issu-meth-01

[Sarah Banks <[e-mail]>]

Hi Roni,
	Thanks for your review of the draft, and comments below. With regards to the lack of any specific procedure, the idea was to provide several procedures, and allow the tester to choose, based on their testing needs/topology/etc. However, once a test has been chosen, we felt it best to have SOMETHING defined as required output, otherwise, how would you be able to compare ISSU results across vendors, apples to apples? To that end, we specified a short list of required info for the report, and then a longer list of optional information to include. So part of the info is required, and part isn't, and since part is, we chose to describe both in normative language. Does this make sense?

Thanks
Sarah

My reading is that it captures the typical procedures and as such is an informational document. It does not recommend any specific procedure yet it RECOMMEND in section 7 defines normative recommendation of which parameters SHOULD be reported in what I understand is a written statement.  I was wondering if all parameters are needed and when you can report only part of them , maybe just make it non normative
