Hi Albert,

LISP-intro is only blocked by one document, lisp-sec. One could do an update, 
though as Dino noted, because RFC6830 included both 6830bis and 6833bis, one 
would need to go thru the document and clean up all the references to RFC6830. 
And then one would need to wait for these documents to progress as they are 
both normative. The current version is ok as is - it points to RFC6830 (and 
datatracker will point a reader to the bis’s).

I’m wondering on another approach. If I recall correctly (my memory may have 
faded), we had optimism that lisp-sec would be done by now, and so had waited 
on it. But it is not. Looking at the reference to it in lisp-intro, it is in 
the security section as “and the lightweight authentication mechanism proposed 
by LISP-Sec [I-D.ietf-lisp-sec] reduces”. I wasn’t involved at the time, but 
I’m wondering why a “proposed mechanism” merited a normative reference in an 
informational document?

RFC7322 RFC Style Guide has:
“Reference lists must indicate whether each reference is normative or 
informative, where normative references are essential to implementing or 
understanding the content of the RFC and informative references provide 
additional information”.

I don’t see lisp-sec as essential to implementing lisp-intro. I don’t know why 
it was listed as normative? To me, it is providing additional information.

If the working group agrees, I can check with the RFC-Editor if can move 
lisp-security to informative. I think the change will only need author and AD 
approval. Does anyone have any concerns? Or is lisp-security “almost done” and 
should continue to wait?

Hi

I am not familiar with all the IETF procedures, but lisp-intro has been waiting 
for a missing reference for 1000+ days and the day it will become RFC it will 
be referencing an obsolete document.

I think that we should make it right, if someone can shepherd me on what to do 
I´ll be happy to work on it.

Right now there is no circular dependency. To summarize:

(1) RFC6830 does not point to 6830bis or lisp-intro.
(2) lisp-intro points to RFC6830.
(3) 6860bis needs to point to RFC6830.

Let’s please don’t change any this. Let’s not make this more complciated then 
it needs to be and let’s not confuse people, especially the authors. ;-)
