[mpls] Document (draft-ietf-mpls-rmr) returned to working group - poll for interest.

[Loa Andersson <[e-mail]>]

Working Group,

This mail starts a two week poll to establish the interest to continue 
work on draft-ietf-mpls-rmr.

draft-ietf-mpls-rmr were returned to the working to the working group 
(about 2 weeks ago).

Normally a document is returned this late in the process when a 
necessary change is discovered that requires working group consensus 
(i.e. a wglc) to implement. This time the document were returned due to 
lack of (or very slow) response to directorate or the IESG reviews.

When a document is returned for a well defined technical change it is 
fairly easy to handle, we make the change and do a wglc.

I have spent time trying to figure out what to do in a case like this. 
There is very little information in our process document. The wg chairs 
has converged on the following small process.

- establish wg interest for the document, i.e. is this something we want 
to do and do we have interest participating in progressing the document.
- leave approximately 2 weeks for working group discussion
- wglc
- when comments from the wglc is resolved, redo the publication request

This document start a two week poll to establish the level of interest 
to continue to work on draft-ietf-mpls-rmr.

Please answer the following 2 questions:

- do you think draft-ietf-mpls-rmr is need and will actually be deployed?

- do you have the cycles to contribute to progressing the document
