[icnrg] IRTF Chair review of draft-irtf-icnrg-icnping-05

[Colin Perkins <[e-mail]>]

The ICNRG chairs have requested that draft-irtf-icnrg-icnping-05 be published as an RFC on the IRTF stream. The IRTF publication process is described in RFC 5743, and comprises a review by the IRSG to ensure technical and editorial quality, followed by a check by the IESG to ensure the work does not conflict with IETF standards activities.

As IRTF Chair, I perform an initial review of all drafts submitted for publication on the IRTF stream before sending them for detailed review by the IRSG. This note provides my review comments, for discussion.

Authors, please can you also respond to this message to confirm that any needed IPR disclosures, as described on https://irtf.org/policies/ipr, have been made? 

Result: 
* Ready with nits
	

RFC 5743 compliance: 
* The draft does not follow the guidelines in RFC 5743


Comments:

Thank you for preparing this draft. The work looks to be in good shape, but I have a number of minor procedural issues to consider.

1. The draft does not appear to follow the guidelines in RFC 5743 Section 2.1. Please review and add the required statements to the Abstract and Introduction.

2. There are various message types that need to be registered, but the draft doesn’t contain an IANA Considerations section giving these registrations. Is this needed, or have the registrations been made elsewhere?

3. The draft is targeting publication as an experimental RFC, but doesn’t include discussion to explain why it’s experimental. Does it need a couple of sentences in the Introduction to highlight that this is a management and debugging tool for the experimental deployments of ICN protocols, or similar?
