I presume I am misunderstanding something about your requests.

Your first request is that I add to the second open issue links to the question I asked 6man, and the answer they provided. I replied that was inappropriate as the topic which leads to the second open issue is not that question and answer (which was based on the SPRING charter text), but rather the open issue is based on the SPRING policy the SPRING chairs described last March, to which I linked. Since the open issue itself is not based on the Q&A, I don't understand why you want that exchanged linked from the issue. You now say that my answer is non-responsive. Since it appears responsive to me, I do not understand your comment.

(At this point I should also add that I hope that my efforts to find different ways to explain this does not create confusion by accident. The above and the below are not in intended in any way to change either by prior answer, or more importantly the original announcement.)

Similarly, you then assert that it is technically correct to say that the technical issue driving the open issue for this document is the general issue of SID compatibility with RFC 4291. I understand that 6man is looking at the general issue. However, the block for this document is the C-SID relationship. It may be that the 6man more general work will also affect this document. If so, we will deal with that. But the blocking question that I understand from the SPRING policy is the interaction of this document with RFC 4291.

You seem to be inviting me to declare a halt on all SRv6 related work until 6man makes progress. As that question is not relevant to this document, I am not going there.

Given that you chose to repeat your questions, as I said above I presume you see another perspective. If you care to explain, I will listen. But I do not currently see any reason to change the text requested for the open issues section.

Yours,
Joel

Hi Joel,

There may be some misunderstandings. Let me try to clarify.

My first suggestion was to add links to the Second bullet in the appendix. Can you read it again please? The response appears unrelated.

Regarding the response to my second suggestion, I suggest we should be technically correct in the issue description and use “the relationship of SRv6 Sid’s to rfc4291”. While SPRINGs concern was CSID, we asked 6man chairs and ADs about that, and the response was as quoted - a clarifying document for SRv6 SIDs. If we are to track this, we should reflect the answers given and remaining issue, would you agree?

Sincerely
   Darren.

*Subject:* Re: [spring] Conclusion of Adoption call for draft-filsfilscheng-spring-srv6-srh-compression
Darren, while I appreciate your requests, I must decline both requests.

On he first request, the bullet is derived from the stated SPRING chairs
policy, as was announced to the working group and is cited in the
adoption conclusion.  It is not reliant on the charter item, the
question I asked 6man about the charter item, nor the answer that 6man
provided.

On the second, the issue for holding up posting of the adopted document
(and potentially holding up last call on the document, assuming as I do
that we will get that far), is about this document.  Which is about
C-SIDs.  If 6man chooses to address the larger SID question in their
document, that is their call.  Our dependence is on the C-SID part of
that.  I have been told C-SID will be dealt with in that.  In the
unlikely event that no document dealing with the relationship of C-SIDs
to RFC 4291 appears, then we will work out how to get one, as that is
what we need to advance work on this compression document.

Yours,
Joel

Hello Joel,

I want to make note of two suggestions, I’m copying the list for record keeping only.

1 – The second bullet (beginning with “As reminded”) should include the link to the questions asked of the 6man chairs/ADs https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/merG-RgtA3shloDqpyRk-xWHniw/
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/merG-RgtA3shloDqpyRk-xWHniw/>
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/merG-RgtA3shloDqpyRk-xWHniw/
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/merG-RgtA3shloDqpyRk-xWHniw/>> and
their response https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/z_3nbdwVQ_V66ZqkV-ZhIg7kakA/ <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/z_3nbdwVQ_V66ZqkV-ZhIg7kakA/>
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/3k8_1JgKGtnLsfsVf65qvReNuLc/ <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ipv6/3k8_1JgKGtnLsfsVf65qvReNuLc/>>

2 – About the requirements for a document identifying the “relationship of C-SIDs with RFC 4291.”.  The word “C-SIDs” should be changed to “SRv6 SIDs” in the sentences when such a document is discussed.  This would better match the 6man chairs/ADs response:

“To summarize: we do not object to C-SID behavior work continuing in SPRING, we simply need a clarifying document described in [A].”

And

“[A] A separate 6MAN document to clarify and categorize SRv6 SIDs is needed.”

Thanks

Darren

With apologies to the working group for the delay, this email formally
ends the adoption call that was announced at
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/-tvDZ5biRXvfLlyJ8IMtX-7EUp4/<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/-tvDZ5biRXvfLlyJ8IMtX-7EUp4/>

for draft-filsfilscheng-spring-srv6-srh-compression

The conclusion is somewhat unusual, so please read carefully.

First, let me thank all of the working group participants for their
active and energetic participation in this call.  That is what we need.

In terms of the rough consensus of the feedback we received, the rough
consensus of the working group is that we should adopt this document.
Due to process concerns, I am placing two caveats on this adoption, one
of which can be easily dealt with by the authors, and one of which will
cause some delay.

The SPRING working group chairs sent a policy statement last March
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/>
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/>>
which calls attention to the issue of conflict between working group
efforts and existing PS or BCP RFCs.  This policy applies to the subject
document.  It is my judgment that the issues raised regarding whether
this work complies with RFC 4291 require adherence to this policy.
As such, we need a draft in front of 6man (the responsible working group
for RFC 4291) that addresses the raised disconnect.
fortunately, we have been told that the 6man chairs and area directors
are appointing authors for just such a document to address the issue of
the relationship of C-SIDs with RFC 4291.
Therefore, I will not be approving posting of the working group draft
until the author team has posted an initial take for 6man consumption of
such a draft. Once they have posted that draft, I will approve posting
of a working group ID with the addition according to the next caveat.

As per the statement in the adoption call, as part of adoption the
document is required to have a section (an appendix seems the most
appropriate, but placement will be up to the editors) on open issues. As
there is a lot of controversy about the open issues, and about how to
describe them, I am providing text (below) for that section.   Once the
draft is posted as a working group draft, the working group will of
course own the text, and WG rough consensus can change the text.  Also,
once we have a WG draft I will arrange to get an issue tracker to make
sure we keep track of all the issues, not just the major ones in the
open issues section of the document.

Expected text on Open Issues:

Open Issues:

Issues raised during and after the adoption call for this draft are
tracked in an issue tracker. The remainder of this section identifies
the most significant open issues, from the adoption call, for the
working group to keep track of.

As a reminder to those reading this section, this document is a work in
progress, and subject to change by the working group.  As noted at the
front of this document, "It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as
reference material"

o Given that the working group has said that it wants to standardize one
data plane solution, and given that the document contains multiple SRv6
EndPoint behaviors that some WG members have stated are multiple data
plane solutions, the working group will address whether this is valid
and coherent with its one data plane solution objective.

o As reminded in the conclusion of the adoption call, this document is
subject to the policy announced by the SPRING chairs in
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/>
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/vCc9Ckvwu5HA-RCleV712dsA5OA/>>.
In particular, this means that this document can not go to WG last call
until 6man completes handling of an Internet Draft that deals with the
relationship of C-SIDs to RFC 4291.  It is hoped and expected that said
resolution will be a WG last call and document approval in 6man of a
document providing for the way that C-SIDs use the IPv6 destination
address field.
