Hi Aijun Sure I would be interested in joining as co-author of the draft.
This an interesting topic as how PUA or negative disaggretion can prevent black hole routing of summaries when “Longest prefix match” does not exist due to link or router down event, and how to signal via negative advertisement PUA to suppress summary advertisement when components prefixes are not in the rib. Let me read through the thread and help provide some comments to assist in progressing the draft.
