Hi everyone,
We are concerned by the reduced support for this document, now that an
IPR disclosure has been made against it ; in particular compared to the
support expressed during the initial call for adoption.
This call is thus extended to Nov 4th.
Thank you for your understanding,
-Thomas and Martin

Hello working group,
At the end of July, IPR has been disclosed on both
draft-bonica-l3vpn-orf-covering-prefixes and
draft-ietf-l3vpn-orf-covering-prefixes, related to a patent by one of
the co-authors, Lucy Yong ; we consider this disclosure far from
satisfying considering the rules of BCP79 ("as soon as reasonably
possible after the Contribution is published" [1]), and in particular
because the information was not provided when an IPR disclosure
reminder question was asked by chairs to authors, during the call for
adoption in June.
The WG Chairs have thus decided to take a step back and initiate a new
poll for adoption on draft-bonica-l3vpn-orf-covering-prefixes-03 [2].
Knowing about this IPR [3], please express your opinion on whether
this document should be adopted or not by the Working Group. Please
motivate your opinion.
Progressing this document as an L3VPN WG item is thus subject to
renewed WG consensus.
Please send your comments, to the list or to the chairs, before
**October the 21th**.
Thank you,
Thomas & Martin,
l3vpn chairs
