The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-dncp/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After spending a bunch of time reviewing the DISCUSS and COMMENT points made by all the IESG members and having several in-depth discussion with other IETF participants, I am abstaining on this document. I believe the concept of an "abstract protocol specification" does not align with the IETF's goal of generating clear and inter-operable protocol specifications. This approach requires an implementer to resolve differences between the abstract protocol specification and the profile rather than simply implementing a single protocol specification. Such an approach has a higher probability of error than the single specification approach. If the basic premise of a protocol is sound and applicable for other uses, a new protocol specification can be written that borrows the necessary part from the previous protocol and makes any requisite changes for the new use. Given this, I will not support the publication of this draft, but I will not stand in its way given the perceived rough consensus for it. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
