Hi! I hope many/most of you followed the 'RTG Area Tuning' discussions over the last couple of months..and in the rtgarea meeting in Toronto. As part of the tuning it was proposed to clarify rtgwg's charter to better explain our mission of developing work proposals that do "not yet rise to the level where a new working group is justified, yet the topic does not fit with an existing working group, and it is either not ready for a BOF or a single BOF would not provide the time to ensure a mature proposal" (from the current charter).
To that end we have written up a new charter with the help of the ADs. Please take a look: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-rtgwg/ As you read the proposed new charter, you should notice that there are 3 components to what the WG will be doing: 1. Larger topics on demand, such as the current FRR work. No change. 2. Small topics (that don't fit in other WGs). "An example of a small topic is a draft that might otherwise be AD-sponsored but which could benefit from the review and consensus that RTGWG can provide." We have already put forth for WG consideration a couple of these (draft-ietf-rtgwg-bgp-routing-large-dc is an example). 3. Be an "optional venue to discuss, evaluate, support and develop proposals for new work in the Routing Area". I don't think this type of work is new to rtgwg: you may recall the energy efficiency work we discussed a few meetings ago. But we do spend more time discussing this item on the charter. Please send comments/question/concerns/suggestions in reply to this e-mail. Thanks! Alvaro.
