Terry's email on April 6 confirmed that Homenet will use the approach of having a Design Team to select the one mandatory-to-implement routing protocol. The charter for the design team, as sent in his email, is below.
I am happy to also announce the membership of the design team with many thanks to them for taking on this time-consuming and critical job. Russ White (lead) Margaret (Wasserman) Cullen Ralph Droms Philippe Klein Wes George Ross Callon The design team has a private mailing list homenet-dt-rout...@ietf.org for their internal communication. The design team members are the only ones on that mailing list. Charter: "Homenet's architecture (RFC 7368) articulates the general features required. The working group has agreed that a single routing protocol must be identified as mandatory to implement. The final purpose of this design team is to select and present a single routing protocol with a summary of the necessary extensions and work to be the one that is mandatory to implement. Once the design team has made its recommendation, the working group will consider any substantial technical objections (see RFC 7282) as part of gaining consensus. For the design team to make this determination, it shall first understand the use-cases for homenet and derive routing requirements from those. Then it shall compare these routing requirements to candidate routing protocols and examine the gaps in each. For each highly plausible candidate routing protocol, the design team will estimate the work and actions needed, the resources at hand or reasonably available, and the associated timeline to get an acceptable, full, standardized solution using each protocol. Based upon this information and the perceived market timing needs of the technology, the design team will make its selection. The requirements, gaps, and reasoning will be documented. This document should be delivered by the July 2015 IETF." Regards, Alia
