Re: Last Call: <draft-sprecher-mpls-tp-oam-considerations-01.txt> (The
Reasons for Selecting a Single Solution for MPLS-TP OAM) to
Informational RFC

All,
I propose to completely remove section 5 of this draft.
The reason:
The IETF should *NOT* document any comment on any "multiple standards"
developed by other SDOs which are outside of the IETF's scope.
Especially standards like like SONET/SDH, CDMA/GSM.
The current text reflects the author's impressions, and since I don't
believe that the authors were involved in the debates when these
standards were developed, they *DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH* to comment
authoritatively on them.
Isn't that why this draft is targeted as an *individual
and informational* draft? Since that is the case, I don't see how your
point is relevant to the document at hand.
[MB] The last call is for consensus approval by the IETF so this draft, if
published, will be "the opinion of the IETF". Therefore the point raised
by Huub is relevant.
The IETF should refrain from documenting things that might offend
other SDOs concerning standards issues in which IETF was or is not
involved.
That is your opinion. However, please observe that other
SDOs document and cross-reference each others' works all the time often
adding their "2 cents". For example, take what the BBF does with many
IETF standards.
[MB] Big difference between referencing the work of another SDO from a
standard and issuing a standard that make inaccurate comments about a
standard that was developed in another SDO.

Best regards, Huub.
