Turns out you were right about this...

The fifth draft is now available at
http://bill.herrin.us/network/rrgarchitectures.html


Major changes include:

Strategy H is folded in to strategy B as variant B1c. Original
strategy B is B1a.
Anja's loose source routes (from HAIR) is now B1b.



So, here's my master plan. I'm playing it by ear so this can still
change, but this is what I'm thinking:

Step 1. Where we are right now. In step 1, I'll make additions based
on this criteria: You propose something architecturally different than
what's already there and I understand it well enough to form a mental
picture of how that would work. I don't have to agree; I just have to
understand.

If I can get to a draft where there are only cosmetic changes from the
last one, I'm going to "close" the document to additions. I put close
in quotes because if something genuinely different and obviously valid
comes along I'll still add it but that'll be it for anything more
minor.

Step 2. I ask each of you to propose eliminating one or more of the
strategies or variants on the grounds that they are in some way
unworthy of further attention. If I get a strong consensus (meaning
lots of you say yes and no more than a couple say no) then I'll remove
that strategy.

Step 3. I'll ask for weak consensus on forming IETF working groups to
pursue specific strategy variants. Weak consensus means lots have
something to say and more agree than disagree. I'll mark them
accordingly in the document. My hunch is that two or three will pass
this hurdle, but we'll see when the time comes.

Step 4. I'll reformat the draft as an I-D and offer it to the group as
Bill Herrin's recommendation. I'll propose that it become the RRG's
recommendation to the IETF and be published as an informational RFC.

Beyond that, it's in your hands. If you find some other, better basis
for forming a consensus recommendation, great. If not, well, it'll be
your call.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
