wearing the chair hat.

I'm not sure I detect a consensus behind the requirement for PCP. I personally would like to see it there, but I haven't heard a lot of commentary on that besides your request.

PCP is a protocol that would be used within the home to enable applications within the home to open holes in the firewall. The discussion at IETF-81 was that the characteristics of the LAN are now the province of homenet, and as such don't belong in this draft. This draft describes the characteristics of the CPE Router's WAN-facing side.

There is also an issue with PCP; it is currently a draft, and has not been sent to the IESG. Several operators have expressed some urgency for getting an RFC number on this so that they can include it in RFPs for managed routers. If we insert a normative reference to an internet draft, this cannot be published as an RFC until that draft is also published.

The working group can override me - if we see a number of operators asking for PCP to be mentioned in the draft, the authors will review that decision. But right now, that seems like a question for homenet.
