[OPSAWG] New I-D -> Guidelines for Charactering "OAM"

[Carlos Pignataro <[e-mail]>]

Hi, Ops Area WG,

Every now and again, there are discussions on how to best characterize or
qualify a particular kind of "OAM", as well as misunderstandings due to
having different definitions and contexts for a given term. A case in point
is "in-band" or "out-of-band" OAM, as recently surfaced at
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/opsawg/jREEH1sFOZ-uxZNky-RTggpxkuk/.

To alleviate this issue, Adrian and I wrote a short I-D to provide
forward-looking guidance on "foobar OAM".

We would appreciate feedback and input on this position, which aims at
updating the guidelines for the "OAM" acronym, with unambiguous guidelines
for their modifiers.

Guidelines for Charactering "OAM":

Look forward to input and comments to make this more clear and effective!

Adrian & Carlos.
