Re: draft-iab-dns-applications - clarification re: Send-N

I refer to any past, present or future version of the charter that departs from 
the assumption that the DNS is the right protocol to address a set of discrete 
problems that includes the candidate drafts of the original E2MD BoF. As I read 
the version you point to below, for example, it does suggest that the overlap 
dialing optimization requirement should be addressed with a DNS-based solution. 
I think it remains unclear whether a DNS-based proposal is the optimal way to 
address overlap dialing.

Hi Jon

I wouldn't say that the message of the dns-applications draft is "do not 
charter
E2MD," in so far as it does not reject the problem space. It does try to 
capture
arguments that had previously only been presented anecdotally, and it moreover
intends in the future to capture the ongoing discussions we've now begun 
about these
subjects. I do however maintain that the previous E2MD chater is a collection 
of
problems that have different underlying requirements, and that bringing them 
under a
common architectural umbrella may obscure their individual problem spaces 
rather than
illuminating them. Also, the insistence of the charter on DNS-based 
solutions, as
opposed to solutions that might not involve the DNS, seemed unnecessarily 
confining,
for send-n and other mechanisms under consideration.

Which E2MD charter do you refer to in this part of your email?
Is it the one we prepared for Maastricht (IETF-78) as publised on:

   http://trac.tools.ietf.org/bof/e2md/trac/wiki/ProposedCharter

or some older version or even both? May I ask you clarify this.

cheers,
  Bernie
