Dear DMM WG Members: A quick update on the status of this document. Based on the feedback resulting from IETF Last Call, 3GPP-IETF Coordination team, 3GPP CT Chair and few others, we have decided to move this document (SRv6 for Mobile User Plane - draft-ietf-dmm-srv6-mobile-uplane) on informational track. This document is currently on track to become a Proposed Standard. Meaning, with this change, this document upon IESG approval will be published as an Informational RFC.
Why this change at this time? There was a general concern from few folks that this document can be seen as IETF redefining a SDO defined interface. There have been many discussions over the last 2 years on this subject. Though the authors and the chairs have tried their best to ensure no part of the document provides such hint, but this concern is not going away. We therefore thought at this point of time, it is in everyone's best interest to move this document on Informational track, and not delay the publication. It is very much possible, at a future point of time, as with many IETF documents (e.g. MPTCP), the WG may consider changing the status of the document. But that is a different discussion and based on other considerations at that point of time. The Int Area Director (Erik Kline), ex-Int Area director (Suresh Krishnan) and the lead document authors (Satoru, Miya, Pablo, & Daniel) and WG chair (myself) have met few times and have agreed to implement this change. I will be updating the Shepherd note to reflect this change. I have also asked the authors to post a new document reflecting this change, and additionally removing any normative language. Thank you for all the feedback. - DMM WG Chairs _______________________________________________ dmm mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmm
