New liaison from IESG to SG15

2011-11-19 18:50:15
Hi Greg,

Please find below a copy of a Liaison from the IESG to SG15. The liaison is
entered in our tool at https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1115/.

Owing to some glitch in the tool, the liaison does not appear to have popped out
as an email. Because everyone is en route back from IETF-82 in Taipei, this is
going to take a couple of days to emerge, so I am sending you this direct such
that you can get it into the ITU-T system in good time for the December plenary.

Thanks for your work.

Regards,
Adrian (for the IETF Secretariat)

Subject: Re: MPLS

Dear Malcolm:

http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/newslog/Statement+Ahead+Of+IETF+Meeting.aspx

Thanks for getting this posted.  It has already gotten a lot of visibility.

Just to make sure that we are on the same page, I'd like to repeat two things
that came up while we were drafting the newslog article. These also reflect the
IETF's understanding of the newslog article.  I'll forward this note to the IETF
participants to be sure that we're all in sync here.

First, the text of the newslog article re-affirms the JWT agreement from 2008 as
captured in RFC 5317.  In particular, the IETF standards process will continue
to be used for all MPLS-TP architecture and protocol documents.

Second, since G.8113.1 contains a protocol that is not a product of the IETF
standards process, it cannot be a part of MPLS-TP according to the conditions of
the JWT agreement and the newslog article.  The IETF anticipates one of the
following actions will be taken to conform to this agreement.  Either (1)
G.8113.1 will be withdrawn, or (2) the title of G.8113.1 will be changed, and
the content will be revised to reflect that it is not included as part of MPLS
or MPLS-TP protocol suite.

Also, thanks for sending me the TD527/P document from the SG15 Chairman.  I note
that it proposes the progression of both G.8113.1 and G.8113.2 as MPLS
standards.  This approach is not consistent with the JWT agreement or the
newslog article.

I believe this is a constructive step forward.  I look forward to a resolution
that fully respects the JWT agreement and moves our two organizations further
toward collaborative standards development.

Russ
