Sweden 911-service evolution (SIP based signalling directly to the PSAP) is 
very closely following what is happening in ECRIT.

Maybe, but charging per byte and charging more for offshore bytes
are both entirely feasible for ISPs to do, and have been for many
years. Therefore, it's entirely feasible for governments to tax
such charges. So I'm not sure there is actually any news here.
Whether you'd be willing to trust IPFIX as the way to measure
traffic is another story, but really a detail.

What somebody (ISOC?) should do is counter the absurd meme that
the ITU is "the United Nations body in charge of internet standards."

Absolutely. Charging was at the root of the old PTT monopolist's
hatred of IP and their love of X.25. But that war was over many
years ago. Apparently a few soldiers have just emerged from hiding
in the forest, thinking the war is still in progress.

Re: Most bogus news story of the week

2009-12-18 Thread Cullen Jennings

The work in ECRIT has certainly helped the state of deployed E911 over VoIP to 
be much better today than it was in say 2000. More importantly, the progress 
that the industry is making in various SDOs, including the IETF, has been the 
primary factor that has caused regulators to not pass some regulations over 
E911 and VoIP. In my opinion they type of regulations that would have been 
passed at this early stage would probably have been overall harmful. 

When you have a case like what happened in Canada where a child is dead and 
probably would be alive had a PSTN phone had been used instead of a VoIP phone, 
well it's not easy to convince regulators not to "Do something" about the 
problem. Obviously I think we ought to be doing something about better 
emergency calling but I believe a well thought out global industry based 
approach is superior to a knee jerk driven reaction done on a country by 
country basis.

A few years ago I was going to the airport from an IETF and happened to
be in a shuttle with some BT folks talking about NGN.  It was very
amusing to listen to their descriptions of us and our bogus thinking,
lack of understanding of critical issues, and how serious work on the
NGN could not take place in such an environment.

Really though, listening to this discussion, I still cannot bring myself
to describe the Chinese desire as "most bogus ever."  They are wanting
to map an existing world view onto something new.  It is, as several
people have pointed out a very problematic mapping, and one that for
various technical, social and political reasons we oppose.  That doesn't
make someone at a high level "most bogus ever," for having the idea,
even if we believe we have enough information to conclude they are
wrong.

We can point and laugh at how wrong-headed someone is, sure in the back
of our minds that they are doing the same about us, or we can understand
where they are coming from and try to engage.  Some days, I'm not sure
which option is better:-) Pointing and laughing, is easy and if you're
in a group that mostly agrees with you can use the mob mentality to make
you feel good and important.  Engaging on the other hand often feels
like fighting an up-hill battle that never really seems to make as much
progress as it must.  It does, however, in my view have the moral high
ground.

>"Bogus" because it's a bad idea or because the reporter significantly
>misunderstood/misrepresented what the suggestion is actually about?

I read the story, and I think the reporter understood the discussion
pretty well, except perhaps for the distinction between capacity and
traffic.

We all know that networks in the US and other developed countries are
rarely willing to peer with networks in less developed countries, so
transit money tends to flow from the LDCs to the US.  The LDCs have
always hated that, since it is the exact opposite of the phone system
where they carefully track the minutes in each direction and the
settlement money has historically gushed from the developed countries
to the LDCs.  So they want the ITU to make rules that the Internet has
to work like the phone system, at least financially.  The Chinese,
being sophisticated, would presumably also like detailed traffic stats
so they know who's talking to whom.

I don't understand ITU politics well enough to know how much of an
issue this is likely to be in practice.  I know the US has some
carveouts in its agreements to implement ITU standards, e.g., our
phone system signalling is entirely different from theirs, and have no
idea how that would affect an ITU decision that might apply via the US
to ICANN.

R's,
John

But, from the perspective of many of the participants in the ITU
(and some of the countries), that old regime was profoundly
attractive: easy to regulate, easy to tax, easy to decide who
gets to carry traffic in and out of the relevant country, etc.
This goes hand-in-hand with nostalgia for various forms and

Not bogus at all.

But, there is a big difference between having A Country asking for agreed upon 
settlement structures and the current structure where the peers negotiate how 
the money is to flow. I.e. I do not personally think it would be good for the 
Internet of today to have fixed settlement structures. The changes in flow,

reminder about BOF proposals

2009-12-18 Thread Jari Arkko
This is an early reminder that if you are planning to submit a BOF 
proposal for the next IETF meeting, its time to start acting. The 
requests must be submitted in little over five weeks. Or six weeks if 
you do it in UTC time, but I think that is an error on the web site :-) 
Of course, much of the real work needs to happen before submitting a 
request -- writing Internet Drafts, working on a charter proposal, 
having a list discussion with the interested parties, etc. Also, the ADs 
would like to know if you are thinking of something, as early as 
possible. Talk to your ADs.


http://www.ietf.org/meeting/cutoff-dates-2010.html#IETF77 says:

2010-01-25 (Monday): Cutoff date for BOF proposal requests to Area 
Directors at 17:00 PST (01:00 Tuesday, February 2 UTC). To request a 
BOF, please see instructions on Requesting a BOF
2010-02-08 (Monday): Cutoff date for Area Directors to approve BOFs at 
17:00 PST (01:00 Tuesday, February 9 UTC).

Re: [rfc-i] Important: do not publish "draft-iab-streams-headers-boilerplates-08" as is!

Jim,

Understood, but the RFC Editor does care how it flows.  We would like to 
get it as nearly right as possible, going out of the gate.

For tracking purposes, I just published draft-reschke-hab-00 
(), which 
contains the headers and boilerplates for the 19 cases Sandy has 
identified. Note that the contents for these cases is auto-generated by 
the experimental version of rfc2629.xslt.


I plan to update rfc2629.xslt and this draft as the RFC Editor 
fine-tunes the text for draft-iab-streams-headers-boilerplates. This 
will give us easy-to-read diffs on tools.ietf.org.

...


In the meantime, draft-iab-streams-headers-boilerplates is in AUTH48, 
and I have updated my document with the current changes; see 
, in particular 
 (change 
list) and  
(diffs).


Best regards, Julian
