Re: [pim] call for adoption: draft-zhou-pim-vrrp-01

Folks,

We have this new draft-zhou-pim-vrrp-01 which we are about to adopt
into the pim wg. It has been brought to the WGs attention that there
is a older draft (draft-xu-pim-drpriority-auto-adjustment-03) which
may have some overlap with the new one. That older draft does contain
information about VRRP aware PIM which is attributed to Stig in the
acknowledgements. If the five of you authors feel that there is some
validity that the older draft contains some information being used in
the new draft, you may want to acknowledge that in the references or
acknowledgements. It appears the drafts are dissimilar enough to not
be merged but I may be wrong. Please share your opinions on this so we
can establish consensus within the group and move the document along.

If the broader WG participants have an opinion on this please speak up.

thanks,
mike
