Re: [lmap] on use cases and requirements

I had a look at the new drafts, couple of questions

Ken,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nagami-lmap-use-case-measurement-provider-00
you talk about a "measurement provider" - if I get it right, this is someone who provides information about different ISPs. this seems to me very similar to the regulator use case - but it's a public interest group, or a company providing the information instead of a regulator. It's probably worth pointing this out in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-linsner-lmap-use-cases - would this then cover your use case?

You also mention a smartphone, I think it's worth adding this explicitly to draft-linsner

You also have a lot of interesting details about your deployment. My feeling is that it would take a lot of work to summarise all the state-of-the-art, so we shouldn't try (perhaps we could add a few references in one of the docs)

Rachel,
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-huang-lmap-data-collection-use-case-00.txt
I take this as a slight expansion of the ISP use case described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-linsner-lmap-use-cases 
Could we work with you on adding a little text about simulations to our draft? - ie the ISP could use measurements to feed its simulation tools (assuming it uses simulations as part of the way it works out where a fault is, or where to add capacity, etc). 
Will you be in Berlin? Marc, Ken and I are meeting in the lmap breakfast to discuss use cases. 

Dan,
Personally I'm happy to drop as much of Section 3 as people want (even all of it).
I agree we should think carefully in terms of what the output of lmap needs to do - what are the most important aspects of which use cases.
Reading between the lines, you think the use cases doc should only cover those aspects that we're going to (try to) make sure we solve during the initial lmap charter. And not be a general use case doc that would need future lmap capability.
Is that right? 
(I'm ok if the answer is 'yes')

Thanks
phil
