Hi All,

although technically (and surprisingly) allowed I would like to state my
discomfort for publishing this draft as AD sponsored document. I believe a
draft which is proposed to replace a standard-track RFC developed with long
discussions and reviews in an IETF WG should be again re-discussed and
reviewed with its changes in a WG before publishing. Otherwise it feels like
bypassing IETF process. 

I personally have no big interest in this draft as I assume RFC 6728 has not
been used in the industry widely. Though if there is strong support in
OPSAWG for the changes in this draft and updating RFC 6728 I would be
supportive too. However I did not see such strong support in OPSAWG yet. I
think we also should clarify on the maillist whether the changes in the
draft are only technically interesting or sufficient amount of people in the
WG (excluding draft authors) are planning to implement and use.

If ever the WG decides to develop such a draft replacing RFC 6728 I believe
it should be divided in parts where the WG should at the first place focus
on changes related to RFC 6728. The decision on developing a draft on bulk
data transfer should be provided separately as I assume the interest on this
part would be less than updating the existing RFC. Dividing into parts makes
it indeed more manageable.

My 2 cents.

Cheers,
Mehmet
