Re: Last Call for draft-ietf-rolc-apr-00.txt (2)

[Andrew Smith <[e-mail]>]

Why is this a ROLC i-d/RFC? 

This is just as much an ip-atm issue? I don't see any large-cloud-specific 
stuff in this draft, although I agree it is not atm-specific. 
The draft does, however, address many of the points raised by papers like 
the Framework document in ip-atm. Maybe it should be just an "IETF" or "IAB" 
draft? But in that case, you should probably give it wider circulation than 
just the ROLC list before RFCing it - I know many people who did not know of 
the existence of this draft because they are not interested in large clouds
and don't follow ROLC.

Also, might it not be a good idea to try to get some of these ideas on the
standards track, rather than letting them languish as "informational"?
Just a thought.
