[mpls] Discussion of draft-ietf-mpls-mna-usecases at the Interim 2023-09-28

[Loa Andersson <[e-mail]>]

Authors,

The MNA chairs have discussed draft-ietf-mpls-mna-usecases.

Our impression is that the draft is close to  being stable and in shape 
to be prepared for WGLC, the process to start the WGLC looks like this:

- Interim meeting discussion
- RTG dir review
- shepherd/chair review (those two reviews may be done in parallel)
- IPR Poll
- WGLC

Before we ask for the RTG Dir review we'd like to ask the authors if 
there are any further changes or updates that they want to do prior to 
starting the WGLC process? If there are please do them as speedy as 
possible and tell the WG chairs when it is done, if there is not just 
tell the chairs.

At the same time we'd like to ask the authors prepare an overview of 
open issues and present them in an Interim, the participants should 
review the document and submit comments for discussion at this Interim.

WE have been holding off on starting the WGLC process for this draft, 
mostly because every time we started to talk about it there has been 
talk about "new use cases", but for the last 6 month no new uses cases 
has been proposed so we believe we are OK to go now.

We have reserved the Interim meeting 2023-09-28 for this discussion.

Loa,
for the MNA chairs
