Hi, I'm posting this as a WG chair.

In the last meeting we had presentations of two drafts proposing
alternatives or changes to the existing pim register mechanism, but we
didn't have time to discuss them. The drafts were:

draft-ramki-pim-null-register-packing
draft-anish-reliable-pim-registers

It would be great if people can provide comments on the drafts. I also
think it could be a good start if we could have a discussion about
what problems people are seeing today. What issues motivated the
authors to propose these drafts, and what issues are other people
seeing with the current pim register mechanism.

I believe these mechanisms may also apply to pim anycast-RP, so issues
with that could also be interesting to consider.

I'm hoping this email can start some discussion. While I'm suggesting
discussing pim register issues in particular, any thoughts people have
would be more than welcome.

Thanks,
Stig
