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.

[spring] Thoughts and concerns

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
