The attached file is based on what was presented at IETF99. It includes some minor tweaks that were suggested at the meeting or soon therafter. Added to that was material on proposed milestones which was presented to the working group for its review on 8/17. It now appears that the consolidated proposal is ready for presentation to the IESG. Because there have been some difficulties with the archiving of powerpoints, I want to make sure that any further such difficulties will not prevent access to the substance of this proposal. In order to provide another path of access, an ascii-ized representation is to be found below. ======================================================================== NFSv4wg Charter Final Proposal Including Proposed Milestones David Noveck August 28, 2017 1. Proposed Charter Text 1.1. General Section NFS Version 4 is the IETF standard for file sharing. To maintain NFS Version 4's utility and currency, the working group is chartered to maintain the existing NFSv4.0, NFSv4.1, and NFSv4.2 protocols and specifications of related ONC components, such as those defining RPC, XDR, and RPCSECGSS. In addition, extensions will be developed, as necessary, to correct problems with the protocols as currently specified, to accommodate needed file system semantics, and to respond to technological developments in the areas of networking and persistent storage/memory. 1.2 Maintenance Section The working group has found that, as NFSv4 implementations mature and deployments continue, clarifications and corrections to existing RFCs are needed. These specification updates help vendors in delivering high-quality and interoperable implementations. The working group is chartered with the vetting of reported issues and determining correctness of submitted errata. The working group is also responsible for approving changes to RPC- and NFS-related IANA registries In addition, some areas may need more concentrated work to correct the specifications already published, to deal with unanticipated interactions between features, or to respond to evolving IESG expectations with regard to areas such as security. Since necessary changes in such cases are generally not appropriate for the errata system, the working group will assist in publication of RFCs that provide implementation guidance and of RFCs that provide editorial modification or technical updates to original RFCs. Since the new NFSv4 versioning framework is in effect, such technical updates to NFSv4 minor versions could include limited XDR changes. 1.3 Extension Section The NFSv4 protocol is designed to allow extension by the definition of new operations, new attributes, and new pNFS layout types, as well as the creation of minor versions. Similarly, associated ONC protocol components that have a versioning/ extension framework can be incrementally extended, when necessary. The working group will discuss proposals for such extensions and assure that they have adequate technical review, including discussion of their interaction with existing features, before adopting them as working group items and helping to draft specification documents. Some likely motivations for such extensions would be to: Maximize NFS performance on advanced network fabrics. Accommodate new storage technologies. Provide facilities useful in management of NFS-accessed storage in large-scale virtualization environments. Provide more effective NFS response to security challenges. 2. Proposed Milestones Because the previous charter was at variance with the work the group was actually doing, the list of pending milestones that can determined now is somewhat limited. To accommodate this situation and in light of the fact that maintenance activities are inherently unpredictable, new milestones that fall within the scope specified within the charter can be added to the list of milestones below after working group consensus upon acceptance and approval by the responsible Area Director ======================================================================== | Date | Milestone | |---------+------------------------------------------------------------| | 3/2018 | WGLC for description of use of NVMe in accessing a pNFS | | | SCSI Layout | | 6/2018 | WGLC for draft-ietf-nfsv4-migration-issues (Informational) | | 8/2018 | WGLC for document describing NFSv4.0 trunking discovery | | 10/2018 | WGLC for document describing NFSv4.1 trunking discovery | | 10/2018 | WGLC for document describing Transparent State Migration | | | in NFSv4.1 | |---------+------------------------------------------------------------| | 1Q2019 | WGLC for description of CM private data convention | | | (Informational) | | 1Q2019 | WGLC for pNFS RDMA Layout | | 3Q2019 | WGLC for RPC-over-RDMA Version 2 | ========================================================================
