[lmap] on use cases and requirements

["Romascanu, Dan (Dan)" <[e-mail]>]

If you have a look at the updated agenda at https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/87/agenda/lmap/ you will realized that Jason and me slightly updated the section dedicated to use cases and added ten minutes of discussion. Let me try to explain the motivation and what we would try to achieve. According to the charter in a couple of months the WG will need to submit the first WG Internet-Drafts on Use Cases and Framework. These two documents should provide clear enough requirements for the following phases where we need to proceed to the creation of the Information Model, and discuss about the selection or development of protocols for Control and Reporting and their associated data models. At this moment in time we have one draft-linsner-lmap-use-cases-03 as principal document on use cases, and two new contributions, which is good for this phase. What we need to start doing is to sort out of the use cases the subset that matches the current WG charter - and we may need to drop or prioritize some of the aspects of the use cases for this purpose. 

(To be more specific and take this just as an example, I am not sure that all the characteristics described in Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 in draft-linsner-lmap-use-cases-03 are LMAP problems or problems that belong to the requirements of the first phase of LMAP.)

Dan
