Hi John. Turns out Jari sent a message with an overview of the changes. But it only went to the lisp mailing list, to which I'm not subscribed. See http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/lisp/current/msg03674.html That is the sort of explanation I was looking for. But since re-chartering is an I

John, The IESG had no specific objection to these parts, but we made the charter in general shorter and reformulated some of the results. In particular, the idea was to put much of the material that you pointed to into the "LISP impacts" document. In general, the IESG felt that we had to go ba

Jari, I appreciate that brevity is desirable. I think in this case, the compression process may have been unintentionally lossy. Let me say what in my view was lost: 1. In discussions within the LISP WG it's frequently stated that experimentation will resolve some disputed question. Given this

I hear what you are saying. But I think the opinion in the IESG at least was, however, that those three really are high priority, and that other documents before them are not so useful before they are completed. I guess it is a different perspective, whether you do things top-down or bottom-up.

Jari, This is pretty good, thank you. I have one further comment. You guys have prioritized three of the work items: "The first three items (architecture, deployment models, impacts) need to be completed first before other items can be submitted as RFCs." But it's not clear to me that these (es

Actually John, I would have to disagree with your assertion about what it takes to describe the archtiecture. It may take engineering and evaluating some cache management schemes before one can decide whether the archtiecture is a good one. But that is very different from being able to describe
