SRING WG chairs and members, If this is not an IETF Business (like suggested by Andrew Alton), I do suggest this irrelevant threat to be abandon/drop from the IETF SPING mailing list.
BRGDS Bertrand [spring] Thoughts and concerns Andrew Alston <[email protected]> Thu, 28 November 2019 15:26 UTCShow header<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/WEMigLTseVvQ2Ke_GdycuI7sHKk> Hi Guys, I have some questions - I ran across a document which has me deeply concerned - that purports to be written by the authors of SRH and makes direct reference to this working group. And since the claims in it are deeply worrying - I think its time to ask for some answers. I fully realize that well - what people publish outside of the IETF is probably no business of the IETF - but, a document that claims to be published by the authors of a draft - that makes false claims about the working groups very charter - that - concerns me. The document itself can be found at: https://www.segment-routing.net/images/20191029-02-Update-on-SRv6-standardization-activities.pdf Now - here is my issue Firstly - the second bullet point in that document runs *DIRECTLY* contrary to what is stated in the spring charter - to quote the charter: The Source Packet Routing in NetworkinG (SPRING) Working Group is the home of Segment Routing (SR) using MPLS (SR-MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6). SPRING WG serves as a forum to discuss SPRING networks operations, define new applications of, and specify extensions of Segment Routing technologies. The forth bullet point is really interesting - because I have yet to see a last-call for this document on the mailing list - unless I missed it - which is explicitly required as per RFC2418 Section 3.2 I am not going to bother with the rest of the document - because well - people are free to their own technical opinions - but it greatly bothers me when the authors of a draft are publishing what are in effect blatant untruths in order to promote their work - and I believe it should bother everyone in this working group when such appears. Thanks Andrew
