Hi OPSAWG, and IPPM WG,

The adoption call for this draft is somewhat
controversial, so I looked into a few details and 
background discussions, especially the e-mail thread
for the call for adoption and the draft itself.

I have read messages expressing concern over the scope of this 
work, and note that the draft does not have a Scope section
(or material that fulfils this need concisely).
It would certainly be easier for the WG to reach
consensus whether to adopt or not if the scope was clear.

From the OPSAWG Charter:
    The focus of the work will be on topics that govern the behavior or WGs
    in the O&M area (e.g., manageability requirements) and on *small,
    highly focused projects that don't merit a WG of their own* or belong
    to WGs that have already concluded (e.g. advancement of documents on
    the standards track, application statements, extensions of MIB
    modules).
This seems to be the relevant paragraph under which the
draft might be considered as in-scope, but I don't see a direct
match here, especially recognizing the additional work to fill
gaps described in Section 6. A draft with wide scope seems 
better positioned as a new WG-level effort, if it is undertaken 
by IETF, IMO.

I have cross-posted this message to the IPPM WG, where 
work-in-progress includes 4 IOAM-related drafts. The topic
origins go back to 2016, with the first IPPM WG adoption almost
3 years ago. Later, this general Framework draft appears (2018)
having overlap with the IPPM work and discussing some of the 
same problems (even hinting at solutions in various places).
IMO, there is more coordination needed here before another
IETF Area adopts work with clear relevance/overlap (see the
4th paragraph of Section 1, Requirements and Challenges 
and its many references).

Also, I note this draft's attempt to define a new category of methods
of measurement (4th paragraph of Section 1, last 2 sentences):

   ... These on-path telemetry techniques are
   very different from the previous active and passive OAM schemes in
   that they directly modify the user packets and can guarantee 100%
   accuracy.  These on-path telemetry techniques can be classified as
   the hybrid OAM type III, supplementing the classification defined in
   [RFC7799].

There isn't enough information supplied to make such a decision,
especially since the RFC 7799 categories were agreed to be fairly 
exhaustive, and IOAM discussions agreed on one of the existing 
classifications (Hybrid Type I).

For these reasons, I support further discussion of this draft and
cannot recommend OPSAWG adoption at this point in time. I believe
this topic needs wider coordination now.

Finally, I echo Adrian's wishes for peace and goodwill as the 
holidays approach.

Al
