hi
my 2 cents here
that exactly the point, i was at the IEPG on sunday morning and there is a
need for better understanding the BGP routing operations and evolutions
a couple of crisp points have been identified (that are not linked to the
usual protocol dev phases) related to the current and future BGP routing
operations, in addition to the modelling and experimentation aspects
GROW is the place of choice for such investigations, having this group in
place now, why should IESG demote and then promote again this group in
another form and not just adapt/re-charter ?
thanks,
-d.

Hi Luca, It seems to me that the statement like
"there is a time for every WG to finish and remaining work
moved to the area meeting."
is true in general, especially when applied to WGs working on
protocol development. i.e. after the major development work is done,
the "tailing" work seems more appropriately moving to area meetings
instead of dragging on a separate WG for another long while.
The case in hand about GROW, on the other hand, seems to differ from
the above general statement in 2 aspects:
- GROW: global routing and operations working group (if I remembered
right). from my personal view, this type of work does not
necessarily have distinguished phases as protocol development effort.
- in particular, new efforts that have been on GROW plate are needed
now.
Yes IESG may decide to close GROW and set up another one, it is just
unclear to me what value could be gained from going through the
steps of BOF->approval->WG one more time.
If we keep GROW, the only work needed is to name a new chair or a
pair of co-chbairs.
Just my 2 cents.
