Hi,

Please find below 2 feedbacks:

1)Small topics

"and may work on specific small topics that do not fit with an existing working group."

"RTGWG may also work on specific small topics that do not fit with an existing 
working group."
What about work which is general to Link State Protocols i.e. not specific to IS-IS and OSPF protocols. Should it be done once in RTGWG or twice in both IS-IS & OSPF WGs?

e.g. draft-litkowski-rtgwg-spf-uloop-pb-statement <http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/90/slides/slides-90-rtgwg-1.pdf> , draft-decraene-rtgwg-backoff-algo <http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/90/slides/slides-90-rtgwg-2.pdf>

Bruno,

I don't think either of these as being a problem.

For RTGWG to take on new work it needs to be noted in the charter and that in turn needs to be approved by the IESG. Minor, non-controversial, items are nodded through so there is no drama there. However part of the discussion with the AD would surely be whether the work belonged in RTGWG, or some other WG, and thus matter such as you are concerned about would normally be handled on a case by case basis.

I therefore would be reluctant to see anything in the charter on this (the concept not the specific drafts) because every case is different.

2)BoF/new WG

"Options for handling new work include:
- Developing a proposal for a BoF.
- Developing a charter and establishing consensus for a new WG"

It seems to me that so far the above work was currently performed in Routing Area plenary meetings.

Do we want to move this to RTGWG? If so

- I'm a bit concerned that such activities are less technically oriented, possibly political and involving many discussions and hence could delay the technical work in RTGWG.

- What's the remaining use of the Routing Area plenary meeting? A top down summary of latest WG status?

I am sure the ADs will change the time allocated to the Open meeting on a case by case basis, and of course cross area work is often discussed there.

The goal as here is to use RTGWG to fulfill the role of the RIA area DISPATCH WG, and have a lightweight and speedy way of introducing new work into the IETF Routing Area, something that I am sure will be needed as we ride through the various transitions taking place in our industry.

I am sure the RTGWG chairs will request additional meeting time and partition the agenda if there is a need to ensure that a controversial new work item does not impinge on existing technical work.

Thanks,

Regards,

Bruno

Hi!

I hope many/most of you followed the 'RTG Area Tuning' discussions over the last couple of months..and in the rtgarea meeting in Toronto. As part of the tuning it was proposed to clarify rtgwg's charter to better explain our mission of developing work proposals that do "not yet rise to the level where a new working group is justified, yet the topic does not fit with an existing working group,

and it is either not ready for a BOF or a single BOF would not provide the time to ensure a mature proposal" (from the current charter).

To that end we have written up a new charter with the help of the ADs. Please take a look: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-rtgwg/

As you read the proposed new charter, you should notice that there are 3 components to what the WG will be doing:

 1. Larger topics on demand, such as the current FRR work.  No change.
 2. Small topics (that don't fit in other WGs).  "An example of a
    small topic is a draft that might otherwise be AD-sponsored but
    which could benefit from the review and consensus that RTGWG can
    provide."  We have already put forth for WG consideration a couple
    of these (draft-ietf-rtgwg-bgp-routing-large-dc is an example).
 3. Be an "optional venue to discuss, evaluate, support and develop
    proposals for new work in the Routing Area".  I don't think this
    type of work is new to rtgwg: you may recall the energy efficiency
    work we discussed a few meetings ago.  But we do spend more
    time discussing this item on the charter.

Please send comments/question/concerns/suggestions in reply to this e-mail.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
