Keith, Thanks for the attention and sorry our mail has crossed.
Feel free to proceed as you best think. (I have made my point as well). Henry -----Original Message----- From: DRAGE, Keith (Keith) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 10:56 AM To: Henry Sinnreich; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Cc: Cullen Jennings; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [MMUSIC] ICE deployment data before LC for RFC As SIP WG chair and the document shepherd for draft-ietf-sip-ice-option-tag this is what I shall be doing with regard to the ancillary document in this process... I went to RFC 2026 and carefully read the section on proposed standard: 4.1.1 Proposed Standard The entry-level maturity for the standards track is "Proposed Standard". A specific action by the IESG is required to move a specification onto the standards track at the "Proposed Standard" level. A Proposed Standard specification is generally stable, has resolved known design choices, is believed to be well-understood, has received significant community review, and appears to enjoy enough community interest to be considered valuable. However, further experience might result in a change or even retraction of the specification before it advances. Usually, neither implementation nor operational experience is required for the designation of a specification as a Proposed Standard. However, such experience is highly desirable, and will usually represent a strong argument in favor of a Proposed Standard designation. The IESG may require implementation and/or operational experience prior to granting Proposed Standard status to a specification that materially affects the core Internet protocols or that specifies behavior that may have significant operational impact on the Internet. A Proposed Standard should have no known technical omissions with respect to the requirements placed upon it. However, the IESG may waive this requirement in order to allow a specification to advance to the Proposed Standard state when it is considered to be useful and necessary (and timely) even with known technical omissions. Implementors should treat Proposed Standards as immature specifications. It is desirable to implement them in order to gain experience and to validate, test, and clarify the specification. However, since the content of Proposed Standards may be changed if problems are found or better solutions are identified, deploying implementations of such standards into a disruption-sensitive environment is not recommended. My judgement is that at least the in terms of its draft, the SIP WG has fulfilled the requirements for a request to publish a proposed standard. It appears to me that any further decision about implementation rests with the IESG, who should obviously take into account any submissions made during the IESG last call process. It is therefore my intent to proceed with the publish request for draft-ietf-sip-ice-option-tag.

However, before sending the <ice-17> I-D for LC to the IESG, it would be prudent and responsible to the industry (that spends considerable resources on ICE in good faith) implementing ICE, to either (1) make it an informational RFC or (2) publish some deployment data showing such items as: * NAT scenarios that have been tested, * The % of success, * Performance, such as call setup delay using SIP. I have not seen any such public data on ICE deployment, for example with SIP. A private report has raised my concern about the performance of ICE. In the best IETF tradition, it would also help to have open source code available for ICE, before declaring it a standard. ICE is too important for the IETF (good work Jonathan and other authors!) not to publish (1) deployment results and (2) publish open source code as well. The various nits discussed on the lists are only of secondary importance to the LC compared to the above and would get resolved with such a process anyway. These are my personal two cents.
