Re: [rsvp-dir] Our first work items for RSVP Directorate

[Bob Briscoe <[e-mail]>]

Bruce,

Perhaps there's a misunderstanding...

Yes, I'm sure the authors want them to be WG drafts. And I'm sure the 
drafts are technically interesting enough.

But I'm asking for the motivations from the authors that justifies 
why they think each draft is suitable to take IETF time as a WG draft 
(and our directorate reviewing time).

In your original email, you gave nice outlines of *what* each draft 
is about, and we've all seen the presentations. But none of the 
presentations or the nice text capsules answer questions like:

- This is needed for new applications w & x that are becoming 
important in the defence and the enterprise sectors
- and yes, another way to do it is already standardised, but this new 
approach saves y amount of messages compared to approach z that we 
already have,
- and n organisations/customers have said they would be interested in 
this being standardised and will contribute reviews.
- or we admit no-one has said they would be interested, but it will 
provide a new fundamental capability that will enable p,q and r that 
people would not even be able to imagine they might want unless we 
standardse it.

ie, stuff specific to each doc, that satisfies the concerns that led 
to the creation of this directorate in the first place.
