Bob,
I agree that there is consensus to move this forward as PS. There
will be an IETF Last Call for the draft as a PS started after Vancouver.
Regards,
Brian

Brian,
In the two plus weeks since you sent this, I saw one email in support
and none is opposition. Given the lack of objections to publishing
this as a Proposed Standard, I think OK to go forward as a PS.

All, During the IESG discussion of draft-ietf-6man-lineid, the
question was raised as to its appropriate status. The WG decided
to advance the draft as Experimental since it had documented
limitations and was targeted to a limited deployment scenario.
Several ADs raised the issue that the above reasons do not
necessarily make the draft inappropriate for Proposed Standard, To
quote feedback from one of the ADs (Barry Leiba):
"If the limitations are clearly documented and if that document can
be used to target implementations correctly, then I think PS is
completely appropriate. If experimentation is needed to
*determine* the limitations, or to determine how to implement the
specification to as not to interfere with inapplicable situations,
then Experimental is best."
In my view, there is a clear understanding of what the limitations
of this approach are and they can be clearly defined in an
applicability statement within the draft. Additionally, we know
the deployment scenario (N:1 VLAN usage in broadband networks)
where this approach will be used.
My question is whether there is opposition or support within the
community to move the document to Proposed Standard as long as
there is a sufficient applicability statement included in the
draft. Please provide feedback to the mailing list (and the cc:'ed
ADs) on this proposed change.
Regards, Brian
