Re: [Teas] Questions about the Appendixes to draft-ietf-teas-rfc3272bis

Just keeping this thread alive to see whether there are any last-minute
opinions.

 

So far I see Med suggesting keeping the Appendixes but with a caveat as to
the extent/completeness of the material. I also see a handful saying "delete
them"

Hi,

 

We have just one thing remaining after working group last call.

 

Don raised some concerns about the Appendixes to this draft and this is an
attempt to focus the questions and possibly drive answers.

 

Appendix A.  Historic Overview

*	Should we delete or retain this Appendix?
*	If we retain it, should we include some text indicating that it is a
subjective view? (If so, what text?)
*	If we retain it, should we regard it as "History before what is in
the body of the text" or should we try to make the history continue towards
the present by including pointers back into the body text? (If so, someone
is going to need to do that work!)
*	If we retain it, should we look to fill any gaps between the end of
the history documented in the Appendix and the start of the material in the
body text?

 

Appendix B.  Overview of Traffic Engineering Related Work in Other SDOs

*	Should we delete or retain this Appendix?
*	If we retain it, should it attempt to list out other (all?) SDOs
that have done TE work? (If so, who will try to compile this list?)

 

I would really appreciate any thoughts on these points and, depending on
your answers, some (promises of) text.

 

Thanks,

Adrian
