[Idr] Re: WG LC on IDR Re-Charter (03/18/2026 - 04/01/2026)

[Aijun Wang <[e-mail]>]

Hi, Jeffrey:

 

I have just finished one rough statistics about the current WG documents in
IDR(also the expired WG documents), and compare them with the loads on other
WGs within routing area.

 

IDR WG currently has 38+5 active WG documents(5 is in the IESG process), and
45 inactive WG documents.

 

The workload in other WGs within routing area are the followings:

BESS(21/15)

BFD(3/3)

BIER(7+3/20)

CATS(1+2/0)

CCAMP(13/18)

DETNET(9+2/1)

LISP(11+2/6)

LSR(16+4/5)

LSVR(1/1)

MANET(3/1)

MPLS(8+3/9)

NVO3(2/3)

PCE(20+4/3)

PIM(10+5/15)

RIFT(1+1/1)

ROLL(2/10)

RTGWG(9/10)

SAVNET(5/0)

SPRING(17+3/3)

TEAS(20+4/11)

TVR(1+2/0)

 

Only five WGs have the workload over 20 WG documents.

 

On the other hand, for the works within IDR WG, I have the following
statistics(track 1 represents the "IDR-SN" related documents; track 2
represents "IDR-EW" related documents

 

Active WG documents(38+5)

Besides the distinctive technology application differences between these two
tracks, can the number above support the split of IDR WG, and further,
convergence of other light load WGs?

Aijun (and others),

 

While the charter last call wasn't to setup conversation of "let's split the
group", that point had been discussed with the chairs and the AD previously.
The IDR chairs are not currently supportive of a split.  That said, it's
worth pushing the discussion more generally to see if we arrive at similar
conclusions.

Work within these two tracks is mutually independent and can be proceed in
parallel, which will defintely accelerate the processing of currently queued
drafts.

 

As a supporter of a split, it'd be useful for those thinking it is helpful
to discuss why they think a split would help the work.  Please be specific
as to what you think isn't working right now.

 

The idr-chairs github tracks the status of such things:

 

https://github.com/ietf-wg-idr/idr-chairs

 

Please also consider doing the exercise of picking documents you think
should be making better progress and reviewing the IETF mail archive to see
what traffic is happening on-list (WG work happens on the list) that is
moving the documents forwrd.
