>that multiple vendors have already implemented a proprietary solution to the problem in their equipment Maybe some other folks on this mailing list know what is implied by "proprietary solution", but I would like to see a few examples of these, and see whether we're solving the same problems, e.g. exposing congestion events vs reprioritizing traffic, etc. > p.s. if this starts a firestorm telling me how to do my job, or telling the IESG how to do theirs, then I probably won't bother making the extra effort for transparency in the future. Your and Stewart's efforts at IESG transparency for the deliberations of this particular effort are *extremely* helpful. I can't say that enough. -- Rich -----Original Message----- From: David Harrington [mailto:ietfdbh@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 12:31 AM To: Woundy, Richard; 'ken carlberg'; 'John Leslie' Cc: re-ecn@ietf.org Subject: RE: [re-ECN] Conex charter - now in External Review Hi, speaking as the person likely to be the Responsible AD for such a WG ... Don't put it all on Stewart. Stewart raised some points that a number of others have also raised. Stewart somehow got the job of putting his concerns in writing. Let me try to increase transparency while we await the issues in writing. (These are my impressions, and I'm also a new IESG member, so please cut me some slack ... ;-) Are we being fair in asking such questions for CONEX but not all other BOFs? I think it fair to say that not all BOFs are asked the same detailed questions, such as which ISPs have indicated any plans to deploy the technology. But it is also fair to say that all BOFs are expected to answer many of the some basic questions, such as is there significant community interest? is there an adequate community interest that is willing to commit to do the work? does the significant community interest seem strong enough that it will last beyond approving a charter? (lots of commitment seems to evaporate once a charter is approved) is the problem a real problem? is the problem well enough understood to actually engineer a solution? is standardization required to solve the problem? is there significant community interest in the same direction, or do people have lots of different ideas about how to solve the problem, so consensus might be difficult to reach? is it clear how the technology would be used, and how useful it would be? is the IETF the right place to do the work, or would another organization be more appropriate? Given the limited resources available (for editing, chairing, reviewing, directing, etc.) is this the most important work for the IETF (and the responsible area) to focus on at this time? and so on ... I think the biggest questions regarding CONEX so far are: "Is this at the point where standardization is required, or is this research?" "Is a standard required because there are multiple vendors getting demand from multiple operators for this type of solution to the stated problem?" It is not yet clear that multiple vendors are seeing demand for such a solution, that multiple vendors have already implemented a proprietary solution to the problem in their equipment, that vendors are at least somewhat likely to implement such a standard in their equipment, and that multiple operators would deploy such a standard if it were available. This raises the questions of whether a standard is required, and whether IETF is the appropriate place for such work. I am not authorized to speak for the IESG, but here are my impressions: We (the IESG) are paying attention. We have asked Stewart to write up his concerns so the mailing list can respond. We are soliciting feedback from vendors and operators in the community so we can assess demand. We have sent the proposal for External review. and we continue to discuss it within the IESG. Some are convinced it should be approved; others are not convinced. At this point, it is not obvious that it will be chartered. At this point, it is not obvious that it will not be chartered. It is under discussion. We have not yet reached rough consensus within the IESG, and we do not believe the IETF has yet reached rough consensus on this proposed WG. Hopefully that gives you some insight into the current status of the request. We are working to reach a resolution. dbh p.s. if this starts a firestorm telling me how to do my job, or telling the IESG how to do theirs, then I probably won't bother making the extra effort for transparency in the future.
