victory...

We had hoped to resolve this face to face before the PWE3 meeting next
week but that now looks unlikely. We are  concerned that we need to
resolve this without the issue absorbing all of the time in the WG
meeting.

In order to gauge the consensus of the WG we would would like to ask
some questions.

When considering how to approach the message mapping document issue, we
think that the most important considerations are:

1) That we deliver a high quality document that describes
    the design to the implementors and users.

2) That the Ethernet design is fully reviewed.

3) That there is consistency between the approaches used
    for the various OAM mappings.

4) That the Ethernet design is delivered in an expedited
    manner and the ATM and FR designs are also delivered
    in a timely manner.


We have three approaches:

a) LC and publish draft-ietf-pwe3-oam-msg-map-06.txt, and

    Accept draft-mohan-pwe3-mpls-eth-oam-iwk as
    a WG document

b) LC and publish draft-ietf-pwe3-oam-msg-map-07.txt
    (i.e. Luca's rewrite) but without  the Ethernet
    section, and

    Accept draft-mohan-pwe3-mpls-eth-oam-iwk as a WG
    document

c) Use publish draft-ietf-pwe3-oam-msg-map-07.txt  as
    the basis for ongoing work.

Before any document is sent to the IESG for publication we will ensure
contributions are appropriately acknowledged through  editorship,
authorship, & acknowledgments. So please set any such issues aside and
focus on the best document to deliver to our users.

Please also set aside the poor etiquette that has taken place, and
focus on  how best to deliver  the required documentation to the
community. On the basis of considerations 1..4 above, which
documentation approach, a, b or c, do you consider most likely to
achieve the goals of the WG?


Stewart & Matthew
