Re: [Teas] WG adoption - draft-nsdt-teas-transport-slice-definition - Appendix

["Luis M. Contreras" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Deborah,

as you comment, there are different views from different SDOs on isolation.
But we lack our own view in IETF. This is precisely the reason why we
should include a preliminary definition on the definitions draft that could
be further elaborated in the framework document or in any other.

For sure, text is (should be) reviewed up to the point of reaching certain
consensus. In fact the current text was hardly debated, amended and
discussed during the design team calls (one per week). Again, probably
requires more views as the ones in this thread. I think this reflects, in
fact, the importance of keeping it in the definition draft.

Best regards

Luis
