What Hannes is suggesting makes sense. The schedule is too aggressive and it would not allow time for WG to discuss and analyze the different proposals. I would like to suggest that the deliverables be moved out by one or two meetings. Hannes asked: ">> Nov 2007 initial signaling analysis Internet Draft Why cannot the work on this draft started earlier? Is there a dependency on another draft?" [joe]Signalling analysis can start anytime, however, it can not be finished until router marking behavior, flow admission control and pre-emption mechanisms are agreed to.

Note that it depends on your opinion about milestones, but I think they should somehow reflect that is being done in the working group. It gives the outside world the impression that the IETF is always too slow with their work if the group does not hit milestones. After some experience with IETF work I tend to be a bit more realistic of how long it takes to produce sound documents; no matter who is author of the document or how simple the subject is (or seems to be). >> Nov 2006 initial problem statement Internet Draft >> Nov 2006 initial deployment models Internet Drafts These two documents can only refer to the submission of the individual submissions once the working group is chartered, I guess. It is not realistic to assume that the WG will be chartered by November 2006. >> March 2007 initial router marking behavior (including encoding) >> Internet Drafts >> March 2007 initial flow admission control and pre-emption >> mechanisms Internet Drafts >> (including edge node measurements) >> March 2007 initial applicability statement Internet Draft Do you think you can accomplish some work within the next two months to have * all these individual submissions ready by " February 26, Monday - Internet Draft Cut-off for initial document (-00) submission by 09:00 ET (14:00 UTC/GMT) " ? Or do these documents even refer to the initial version of working group documents? If yes, then this pretty much impossible to accomplish. You might want to differentiate these two cases since charters typically refer to working group documents rather than some arbitrary docs that have been sent to the working group. >> March/July 2007 submit Problem statement to IESG for approval as >> informational RFC Decide whether you want the milestone to be March or July. If it is March and let us assume that the working group is created early December then you need to have an individual submission turned into a working group document. You need to confirm this decision on the mailing list and that takes about two weeks. Since you have XMAS breaks you will have the working group document sometime late in Dec. / beginning of Jan. since only the document authors (and their co-workers) will be excited about the idea of making them a working group item (everyone else in on holiday). Then, you need to work on the document. You need reviews, draft updates since you cannot assume that the first version is already ready for IESG. Now, if the submission deadline is March 5 you need to start a working group last call early February since that takes at best 2 weeks. Then, give the authors about 2 weeks to update the document in such a way that it does not require another review cycle and to get it ready for the submission deadline. >> July 2007 submit deployment models to IESG for approval as >> informational RFC >> July 2007 submit applicability statement to IESG for approval > as >> informational RFC >> (may be part of the deployment models) >> July 2007 initial manageability issues document Internet Draft I also think that these milestones are far too optimistic. They just seem to assume that everything just works great with every document and nobody raises issues that require some level of discussions. >> Nov 2007 submit router marking behavior to IESG for approval > as >> standards track RFC >> Nov 2007/Mar 2008 submit flow admission control and pre-emption >> mechanism as standard track RFC Hard to tell whether these documents will be completed by this time. Could be possible. >> Nov 2007 initial signaling analysis Internet Draft Why cannot the work on this draft started earlier?
