Re: [v6ops] draft-ietf-v6ops-mobile-device-profile last call- "harmfully broad"?

[<[e-mail]>]

Lorenzo,

Items included in the I-D are specified in existing RFCs, 3GGP or GSMA specifications. We are not “inventing” new features!

Actually, I don’t see the point of this discussion that started with a concern about "harmfully broad" but ends now with: this is not within the charter of v6ops!

If the point is to raise an objection then you can find more serious ones but not this one. It is incongruent to discuss this point about the charter at this stage: especially given the document was already accepted by the WG, passed the WGLC twice, and an IETF consensus was declared for it once.

As a reminder, below what we have implemented to address your concerns:

·         We integrated the text change you asked for when the WGLC was immediately initiated,

·         We clarified your concern about non prioritizing the recommendations,

·         We clarified the point that the compliancy with the document does not mean all items must be supported,

·         We reduced the scope of the document and listed items from 34 to 18 (5 of these items are for device with LAN capabilities, while 5 are advanced features).

I still have energy to address any serious concern you would have. If you can provide text this would even be better.

This document is also yours. As editors, we are recording what we hear from the WG.

Thank you.

Cheers,
Med

Not really. If you go and read those documents, you'll see none of them is on host requirements.

[Med] With all due respect, this is not true. RFC7066 is an example of host requirements.

The main purpose of RFC 7066 is not to place requirements of its own, but to clarify the requirements that are posed on hosts by the 3GPP standards.

 And in any case, the discussion was whether this document is "directly in line with the v6ops charter", as Dave said. Just because the WG happens to have published a few documents that talk about hosts doesn't mean that host requirements are directly in line with the charter.

[Med] What I know is that this document was adopted by the WG and passed the IETF LC once. The question about the charter was never raised.

I don't see what WG adoption and IETF LC have got do do with this discussion. Dave said the document is "directly in line with the v6ops charter", and I disagreed.

That document is a good example of what *is* in charter of the WG: an in-depth, detailed discussion of the operational issues. 8 lines of text saying "devices must support different PDP types for home and roaming" is not.

[Med] There is no recommendation in the roaming analysis draft. The profile document includes a clear recommendation on the current plan of most operators to handle the roaming issue.

But it's not the role of the IETF or of this working group to make statements about operator plans.
[Med] Who is asking for this?! This is your assumption, at most.

You're the one who wrote the words "the profile document includes a clear recommendation on the current plan of most operators". All I'm saying is that that's not the IETF's role.
