Precedence: list

I've submitted the Editor's Proposal for the Problem Statement. As I 
said earlier, this could provide source material for the charter, but 
basically appears to be overtaken by events. I did notice an editorial 
glitch in Sec. 6, where I moved some terminology up to Sec. 2 but failed 
to clean up. I can fix that, but I think that's as far as we want to go 
for the moment.

Regarding authorship: I reverted to the technical definition of author. 
I understand that a lot of the text I worked with came from from Qin and 
Mishael in the first place. The list of Contributors indicates those 
people who added text or strongly influenced the development of the 
document. I'm sorry if anyone feels betrayed by these changes, but if 
the document does go further, I imagine the usual political adjustments 
to authorship will take place.

Abstract:
    Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanisms are
    critical building blocks in network operations.  They used for
    service fulfillment assurance, and for service diagnosis,
    troubleshooting, and repair.  The current practice is that many
    technologies rely on their own OAM protocols and procedures that are
    exclusive to a given layer.

    At present, there is little consolidation of OAM in the management
    plane or well-documented inter-layer OAM operation.  Vendors and
    operators dedicate significant resources and effort through the whole
    OAM life-cycle each time a new technology is introduced.  This is
    exacerbated when dealing with integration of OAM into overlay
    networks, which require better OAM visibility since there is no
    method to exchange OAM information between overlay and underlay.

    This document analyzes the problem space for multi-layer OAM in the
    management plane with a focus on layer and technology independent OAM
    management considerations.  It concludes that an attempt to define an
    architecture for consolidated management should be undertaken, and if
    this attempt satisfies key objectives, a gap analysis and a program
    of standardization should follow.
