I am sending this note to make sure that everyone is aware of the recent article. I understand that some people felt the article was unclear, and I hope the following note helps.

It has already gotten a lot of visibility. > > Just to make sure that we are on the same page, I'd like to repeat two things > that came up while we were drafting the newslog article. These also reflect > the IETF's understanding of the newslog article. I'll forward this note to > the IETF participants to be sure that we're all in sync here. > > First, the text of the newslog article re-affirms the JWT agreement from 2008 > as captured in RFC 5317. In particular, the IETF standards process will > continue to be used for all MPLS-TP architecture and protocol documents. > > Second, since G.8113.1 contains a protocol that is not a product of the IETF > standards process, it cannot be a part of MPLS-TP according to the conditions > of the JWT agreement and the newslog article. The IETF anticipates one of > the following actions will be taken to conform to this agreement. Either (1) > G.8113.1 will be withdrawn, or (2) the title of G.8113.1 will be changed, and > the content will be revised to reflect that it is not included as part of > MPLS or MPLS-TP protocol suite.. > > Also, thanks for sending me the TD527/P document from the SG15 Chairman. I > note that it proposes the progression of both G.8113.1 and G.8113.2 as MPLS > standards.
