The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Change Process for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Protocols and Procedures ' <draft-andersson-rtg-gmpls-change-08.txt> as a BCP This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Brian Carpenter. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-andersson-rtg-gmpls-change-08.txt Technical Summary This document defines a flexible and responsive process for the IETF to handle suggestions for extensions to the MPLS and GMPLS protocols, and clarifies the IETF's responsibility to supervise the growth and evolution of MPLS and GMPLS protocols. The process allows individuals, IETF working groups, and external standards bodies to influence the development of the MPLS and GMPLS standards. Working Group Summary This is not a WG document but it has been discussed on the Routing Area list, and the MPLS and CCAMP WGs have been made aware of it. Discussions were also held with multiple participants in ITU-T. IETF Last Call comments have been incorporated. Protocol Quality Reviewed by Brian Carpenter for the IESG. Personnel Responsible AD and document shepherd is Brian Carpenter. RFC Editor Note In section 2.2 please update as follows: OLD: The Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) working groups have been chartered to specify a limited number of solutions for Provider Provisioned VPNs. Both working groups are in the Internet Area. The work of the L2VPN and L3VPN working groups does not include specifying new protocols or extensions to existing protocols. If extensions are needed, the procedures as specified by their charters and the IETF's standard processes are applicable. NEW: The Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) working groups have been chartered to specify a limited number of solutions for Provider Provisioned VPNs. Both working groups are in the Internet Area. Much of the work of the L2VPN and L3VPN working groups does not include specifying new protocols or extensions to existing protocols. Where extensions are needed, the procedures as specified by their charters and the IETF's standard processes are applicable. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
