The MPLS WG Archive

["Brungard, Deborah A, ALABS" <dbrungard@att.com>]

Loa,
(I included ccamp as I was not sure everyone is on the mpls list)

The draft does not include any reference to liaisons (inputs from other standards groups). Will there be a separate process for liaisons or this draft will be extended to include? It would be useful (especially for other standards groups) to have clarification on how liaisons are input to a WG, generation of responses, and process required to coordinate work/initiate work within a working group in relation to other standards groups.

On section 2.2.2 problem statement review, and in other steps where decisions are taken, it would help to clarify if say that the decision (e.g., 'no action') plus the basis for the decision be posted to the Area/WG mailing list within a specified time period.

Thanks,
Deborah

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: MPLS and GMPLS Change Process
	Author(s)	: L. Andersson

This memo describes the process through which individuals, working
groups and external standards bodies can influence the development of
MPLS and GMPLS standards.  With respect to standardization, this
process means that (G)MPLS extensions and changes can be done through
the IETF only, the body that created the (G)MPLS technology.  The
IETF will not publish a (G)MPLS technology extension RFC outside of
the processes described here.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
