Re: Running code (Was: I-D Action: draft-ietf-6man-ipv6only-flag-03.txt)

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I don't think this can be enforced and even less for a specific ID or WG.

And this will be discriminatory also if applied to all the IETF work.

There are many authors that don't have time, resources, access to the source code from vendors, or even knowledge, among many many many other possible reasons, to implement an ID they submit. Also, there will be IDs which are not "implementable", etc., and clearly that doesn't disqualify that it may be a perfectly valid work.

I guess this is a discussion that should be held at the general area list.

Regards,
Jordi

    If the WG decides to go on this path, I will be fully supportive of that. This model has worked out well for idr (see https://trac.ietf.org/trac/idr/wiki#ImplementationRequirement). What I am uncomfortable with is that criterion being *selectively* applied to this draft as a prerequisite for progress. 
    
    Thanks
