RE: [L1vpn] Proposed charter for L1VPN WG

[[e-mail]]

hamid -

the framework document has been used to determine the protocol work this group is going to address, if two documents (requirements + framework) are to be progressed in parallel it means that either

- you suggest we keep continuing work on functional requirements but then one could question whether we agree on what to do in this working group ? (note: protocol details will be worked out as part of the protocol work anyway)

- or you do suggest that we close the requirements asap (but then what is the purpose of it as we would be all in agreement ? here also details will be worked out as part ofthe protocol work anyway) and the framework becomes the document where terms, working assumptions and other models get documented as suggested in the initial charter proposal

would you clarify your thought because i have some difficulties to understand the logic behind the below reasoning ?

I do agree the framework draft covers the requirements and is inline
with ITU L1VPN work. An option that can be considered is to separate
the requirements from the framework in separate internet draft and
let the two drafts progress independently (from work point of view).
I assume at certain point solutions (and not the framework) would have
to be compared to the set of requirements listed.
