All, at the meetings in Paris and Vancouver the working group discussed MPLS multicast and as part of this also drafts that suggested that we use upstream label allocation for MPLS multicast. The drafts are: draft-raggarwa-mpls-ldp-upstream-00 draft-raggarwa-mpls-rsvp-upstream-00 draft-raggarwa-mpls-upstream-label-01 draft-rosen-mpls-multicast-encaps-01 The authors asked that they were made working group documents. There were a good to strong support for making them working group documents, but is it was pointed out that there were non-disclosed IPRs on upstream label allocation. This made the situation unclear. Since then we have notified the IETF secretariat and the Routing Area Directors on the situation on the IPRs. We have no indication that the existing IPRs will be a problem to progress a standard in this area. As far as we can see all the relevant IPRs has been publicly disclosed to the IETF. We will therefor shortly in separate mails re-initiate the call for consensus to make the four drafts above working group documents.
