There is a sentence in the Abstract about "requirements".  The 
Introduction Section, specifically the last paragraph, states that 
the draft is about scenarios.  There isn't any mention of 
requirements.  My understanding of requirement is that it is about a 
thing which is compulsory.  I could not find anything in the draft 
which states that
Centralized Control Dynamic Routing in a native IP network is compulsory.

If it wasn't for our email exchange, I would not known about the 
algorithm.  I do not disagree with you on whether you want to provide 
some useful information for the community.  Is there useful 
information in the draft which is intended to be published?

Is there a vendor, excluding any one which has some affiliation with 
the draft, which has expressed interest in this work?  Are there 
operators, unaffiliated with the affiliations listed in the draft, 
who have expressed an interest in this work?

In the above, "scenarios" is mentioned once again.  The question 
which follows is not about "scenarios"; it is about requirements.  I 
would say yes to the question.  However, that does not change the 
fact that the draft is described as being about scenarios and that is 
not mentioned in the WG Charter.
