WG, I have reviewed all of the emails on this topic.
My assessment is that no-one spoke specifically against (nor for!) the design team to select the mandatory to implement routing protocol for homenet. There was, however, some constructive discussion about the design team charter, along with some advice for the design team to consider. I have the sense that folks were waiting for charter word-smithing to be completed prior to accepting/supporting the design team and ultimately its determination. There simply wasn't enough positive nor negative responses to gauge consensus. I have updated the charter as follows which folds in the substantive comments from Lorenzo and Brian. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Homenet's architecture (RFC 7368) articulates the general features required. The working group has agreed that a single routing protocol must be identified as mandatory to implement. The final purpose of this design team is to select and present a single routing protocol with a summary of the necessary extensions and work to be the one that is mandatory to implement. Once the design team has made its recommendation, the working group will consider any substantial technical objections (see RFC 7282) as part of gaining consensus. For the design team to make this determination, it shall first understand the use-cases for homenet and derive routing requirements from those. Then it shall compare these routing requirements to candidate routing protocols and examine the gaps in each. For each highly plausible candidate routing protocol, the design team will estimate the work and actions needed, the resources at hand or reasonably available, and the associated timeline to get an acceptable, full, standardized solution using each protocol. Based upon this information and the perceived market timing needs of the technology, the design team will make its selection. The requirements, gaps, and reasoning will be documented. This document should be delivered by the July 2015 IETF. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- So with no more emails on the thread, I'm marking the above as the final design team charter and I now ask the WG to comment by midnight Friday the 3rd April (UTC) of either accepting the design team, or not. I will judge consensus at that point, remembering that silence doesn't help. Pending consensus, and at the appropriate time I will direct the design team to read the advice from Steven, Alexandru, and James posted here for their consideration. Cheers Terry
