Dear All,
Loa and I have discussed these abbreviations to help us find a solution
that avoids the confusion we found when we came across them. Firstly, what
they stand for:

   - IOAM - In-situ OAM (RFC 9197
   <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9197/>)
   - iOAM - in-band OAM (RAW architecture
   <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-raw-architecture-13>)
   - oOAM - out-of-band OAM (RAW architecture
   <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-raw-architecture-13>)

We discussed the issue with Pascal and came to slightly different
abbreviations for the last two:

   - inb-OAM
   - oob-OAM

We also discord these abbreviations with the RFC Editor. Resulting from
that, RFC Editor agreed to add IOAM to the RFC Editor Abbreviation List
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/abbrev.expansion.txt>. The other two
abbreviations cannot be added at this time. If that is needed, we can ask
the RFC Editor to add them once the respective RFC is published.
We are seeking your feedback on the following:

   - Do you see the benefit of introducing two new abbreviations for
   in-band OAM and out-of-band OAM?
   - Which set of abbreviations (iOAM/oOAM vs. inb-OAM/oob-OAM) do you
   prefer for being used in IETF?
   - Or would you propose another set of abbreviations?

Regards,
Loa and Greg
