It can be the same document. We could not find wording that made it clear that the update had to be approved by the owning WG, and that SPRING approval would be conditional on such. And still alow for them being the same or different documents.

On the other hand, the usual practice has been to separate them as it makes for cleaner discussions.

Yours,
Joel

Dear WG:

A quick note from the chairs for clarity with regards to 
draft-srcomdt-spring-compression and as a matter of process for future 
unrelated documents.

With regard to section 5.2 of draft-srcomdt-spring-compression-requirements-05, 
the chairs note that this is primarily an IETF process issue, not a technical 
issue about solutions.  The chairs also remind people of two aspects of IETF 
process:

        • First, an IETF draft which modifies an existing PS or BCP requirement 
will not be adopted by the SPRING WG without a corresponding document that 
explicitly modifies or updates the requirement being sent for consideration by 
the relevant WG.
        • Second, the document which makes such a modification or update will 
need to be approved by the IETF working group which owns the existing 
requirement before the SPRING document will be advanced out of the SPRING WG.

I don’t see why a single document can’t update both.   IDs are allowed to 
update multiple documents, the changes need to be clear, but I don’t see why 
separate documents are required.  Please explain.

Bob
