Subject: [mpls] draft-mirskies straddling three working groups
Precedence: list

Folks,

We have three drafts from Greg, they overlap in some fashion between
our working groups. I think it would be good if we could agree on how
the work is divided between the wg's, or maybe if if we should keep the
drafts at one place.

The drafts are:

draft-mirsky-bfd-mpls-demand-01
BFD in Demand Mode over Point-to-Point MPLS LSP
	
draft-mirsky-mpls-p2mp-bfd-01
BFD for Multipoint Networks over Point-to-Multi-Point MPLS LSP
  	
draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-01
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in Segment Routing Networks 
Using MPLS Dataplane


I could can think of doing this in different ways, obviously (if we
want to progress the draft).

We could do:

draft-mirsky-bfd-mpls-demand-01 in bfd
draft-mirsky-mpls-p2mp-bfd-01 in mpls; and
draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-01 in spring

That would obviously require quite a bit of coordination.

We could also do all of the in one working group, and if we do that
I think MPLS is the the stuckee. If someone else want to pick up the
draft I would not have strong objections, as long as we make sure
we have enough coordination.

In the MPLS wg we appoint a document shepherd prior to MPLS-RT review
(part of the adoption process). The shepherd then run the entire process
of adopting the document (with support from the mpls chairs; and we
don't start the process until the shepherd is reasonably sure that the
adoption will take place.

If (big if) we decide to take all documents to MPLS, then I'd like to
have a shepherd from the other working groups for "their" documents.

Opinions, ideas?

/Loa
