Hi Authors, All,

There is another approach described in [1] which uses the generic mechanism of association group as specified by [2] to achieve the same objectives as path-profile draft [3]. 

[1] http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dhody-pce-association-attr/
[2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-minei-pce-association-group-00
[3] http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-alvarez-pce-path-profiles/

Does the WG see a benefit in having a common approach? Let us discuss this during the WG meeting... 
We are open to working together in this area based on wishes of the WG. 

Dhruv
