Folks: As the (draft) minutes [1] of IETF 96 reflect, there was general
consensus on adoption of the ALTO traffic engineering cost metrics
(draft-wu-alto-te-metrics-08) draft as a deliverable towards protocol
extensions to convey a richer set of attributes.

Some concern was expressed on the list about the the privacy aspects
related to sharing some of the metrics.  These metrics remain optional,
and an ALTO server that does not want to provide these is not bound to
do so.

There was also advice from the AD to harmonize this work with the metric
registry work being done in IPPM.

The chairs would like the authors to ensure that the above two items are
reflected in any discussion that arises in the context of adopting this
draft as a working group item.

The call for adoption runs for two weeks, from Mon Aug 1, 2016 to Mon
Aug 15, 2016.  This will be a good time to comment on the list and
inform the working group of any issues with adopting this items, or
whether the working group was remiss in considering other documents.
Please post to the list.  (Even a simple "I support this document
towards charter deliverable" is a good indication.)

Thanks,
