Re: [OPSAWG] Call for adoption, two capwap-related documents

Apologies on being a few days late...

In scanning through these documents, I'm left wondering why capwap-extension doesn't formally replace (-bis) 5416 or at least update it, and why it's an informational document. This seems more like a proposed standard update, making me wonder if it perhaps belongs elsewhere (i.e. not an ops group).

Similarly, capwap-hybrid-mac seems like an update to 5415 to correct the lack of clear distinction between AP and AC that has been proven necessary for interoperability. This also seems like a proposed standard since it is apparently necessary to implement this to improve interoperability.

I think we need to sort out the intent of these documents before we determine if OpsAWG is the right fit.

Thanks,

Wes George
