[sip-overload] rate-control and event-package drafts and normative references

["Vijay K. Gurbani" <[e-mail]>]

Charles, Eric: The Gen-ART review of draft-ietf-soc-overload-control
triggered me to check the references of your drafts, especially whether
the reference to draft-ietf-soc-overload-control is normative or
informative in your drafts.

It appears that both the drafts list draft-ietf-soc-overload-control as
an informative reference.

I believe that this should be changed to a normative reference.

The distinction between normative and informative reference is
captured in http://www.rfc-editor.org/policy.html#policy.refs
 From this reading, it appears reasonable that someone wanting to
implement either rate-control or event-package will need to
read overload-control first.

You can ask the chairs for guidance as well, and assuming that you
do make the change, you can easily do so before IETF last call or
during Auth-48.

Thanks,

- vijay
