Re: [trill] TRILL Resilient Distribution Trees, who have read it?

I haven't paid too much attention into the details of the draft. Hence i will defer questions related to draft, for later time. But I do have few questions related to procedure.

1. I do not see this work item chartered for TRILL WG. Until it is done, it is not prudent for WG to focus on non-chartered items, atleast till the updated charter is in place.
2. Is this email a WG adoption call? Not being aware IETF procedures, can individuals call for WG adoption or is it done by chairs? If it is only by WG chairs, what is the purpose of this email.

Cheers

Protection solutions for IP Multicast service have been developed and standardized. However, unlike unicast, multicast protection solutions cannot be reused by TRILL because TRILL-multicast is customized for TRILL. Therefore we composed the draft to provide the multicast protection suitable for TRILL.
