>>Sender: owner-mpls@UU.NET
>>
>>All,
>>
>>we have found that we have reached a workable consensus in the
>>discussion on MPLS signaling protocol for traffic engineering
>>applications.
>>
>>The consensus is based on the earlier attempted consensus mails
>>sent by the Working Group chairs to the MPLS mailing list, and
>>discussion on the list.
>>
>>Consensus has been reached on:
>>
>>- that the MPLS WG needs to focus its efforts on RSVP-TE as protocol
>>   for traffic engineering signaling.
>>
>>- that the Working Group effort on CR-LDP should be discontinued.
>>
>>- that the WG charter should be updated to reflect this.
>>
>>- that CR-LDP (RFC 3212) will remain a proposed standard.
>>
>>- that RFCs 3213 and 3214, that is closely related to CR-LDP will remain
>>   proposed standard.
>>
>>- that existing Working Group drafts related to or updating/changing
>>   CR-LDP will be progressed through the standards process to
>>   proposed standard or informational RFCs as appropriate.
>>
>>- that "the existing cr-ldp working group documents" are:
>>     draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-query-nn.txt
>>     draft-ietf-mpls-te-feed-nn.txt
>>     draft-ietf-mpls-crldp-unnum-nn.txt
>>     draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-ft-nn.txt
>>     draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-nn.txt
>>     draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-nn.txt
>>     draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-extensions-nn.txt
>>
>>- that the IETF will take on no new Working Group documents
>>   related to CR-LDP.
>>
>>- that the IETF will entertain no efforts to promote CR-LDP beyond
>>   proposed standard.
>>
>>- that individual contributions to CR-LDP area are not prohibited, but
>>   discouraged.
>>
>>- that a message will be sent to the relevant standards organizations
>>   notifying them of this change of focus on MPLS signaling protocols.
>>
>>
>>A more detailed documentation of the consensus, the process through which 
>>it was reached are found in
>>
>>http://62.119.0.68/~loa/tally.htm
>>
>>and
>>
>>http://62.119.0.68/~loa/draft-andersson-mpls-sig-decision-00.txt
>>
>>The later is a Internet Draft that will be sent to the IESG to be
>>published as an Informational RFC as confirmation of the Working
>>Group consensus.
>>
>>Comments on this Internet Draft are welcome.
