The MPLS WG Archive

["Andrew G. Malis" <Andy.Malis@vivacenetworks.com>]

Loa,

I assume that the mpls and ccamp lists are the appropriate places for 
discussion of this draft.  I also included the pwe3 list, since this also 
affects the work in that WG.  I apologize for the crossposts to those of 
you on more than one of these lists (including myself).  Perhaps once the 
discussion has started, we can pick just one place to continue it.

My initial reaction on reading your draft was that I didn't see any 
discussion of the pwe3 WG, which as you know is specifying extensions to 
RFC 3036.  For the purposes of your draft, would pwe3 be classified as a 
"protocol specifying working group"?  And is it your intention that the 
current work in the pwe3 WG be approved by the "requirement evaluating 
working group" prior to its documents being published as RFCs?  Or would 
this be grandfathered in as already having been chartered by the IESG?

Thanks,
Andy
