Hi, Christian: Based on your information, it is more fair to adopt these two drafts as WG documents at the same time. The reasons are the followings: 1. The centralized and distributed modes don’t conflict with each other. Anyone can contribute their thoughts on them at their interests. 2. They are both aiming to solve the same problem, which can give the operators more choices once they have been standardized. 3. The technique disputes between these two drafts are undergoing on the mailing list. If they are not well solved, we still need to discuss them after the adoption. It’s too hurry to make the adoption conclusion at current time.
