BCOP appeals numbering scheme -- feedback requested

2015-03-12 Thread Yardiel D. Fuentes
Hello NANOGers, The NANOG BCOP committee is currently considering strategies on how to best create a numbering scheme for the BCOP appeals. As we all know, most public technical references (IETF, etc) have numbers to clarify references. The goal is for NANOG BCOPs to follow some sort of same

Totally. Also, then what if something is in the intersection of multiple "areas". Complexity that's not needed. Tony On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 3:12 PM, Job Snijders wrote: > On Mar 12, 2015 8:08 PM, "joel jaeggli" wrote: > > > > On 3/12/15 12:01 PM, Yardiel D. Fuentes wrote: > > > In the above

The index scheme has worked very well with RFCs, and has the added advantage of their index numbers becoming handy memes. I strongly urge Nanog to take advantage of the RFC system's success. There is no shortage of monotonically ascending integers :) -mel beckman > On Mar 13, 2015, at 11:19

I think the RFC numbering system is a terrible scheme. As Wes described, you have a document purporting to describe something, with no indicator that parts of it have been rendered obsolete by parts of other documents. I pity implementors who have to figure it all out. I also agree with Joel, tha
