Howdy WG Folks!
There's been significant chatter on-list about:
  draft-mcbride-grow-as-path-prepend-01

Abstract:
  "AS_Path prepending provides a tool to manipulate the BGP AS_Path
   attribute through prepending multiple entries of an AS.  AS_Path
   prepend is used to deprioritize a route or alternate path.  By
   prepending the local ASN multiple times, ASes can make advertised AS
   paths appear artificially longer.  Excessive AS_Path prepending has
   caused routing issues in the internet.  This document provides
   guidance,to the internet community, with how best to utilize AS_Path
   prepend in order to avoid negatively affecting the internet."

This work seems directly in the GROW wheelhouse, and it appears folk
on-list agree. Let's decide with a WG Adoption call for this document
and see if we should continue this work officially/etc.

Please give it a read, and comment on adoption ideals here-in.

thanks!
