Hi,
following the discussion during the IETF-77 TSVAREA meeting on how
to better review and progress extensions to (non-TE) RSVP and
IntServ, the transport area directors have formed a new RSVP
directorate and given it these tasks:
* Review of all new work related to RSVP and Integrated Services that
is proposed for IETF adoption. The purpose of this review is to
advise the ADs and the chairs of the Transport Area Working Group
(TSVWG) on whether a particular proposal should be taken on as a
work item. The directorate will continue to guide and review such
new work in TSVWG until it is ready for publication as an RFC.
* Review of selected documents during IETF last call or under IESG
review. The directorate monitors ongoing IETF work and should
independently decide when a document will benefit from their review,
assign a reviewer and enter into a follow-on discussion with the
authors. When deemed necessary, the area directors will on occasion
directly consult the directorate while forming their opinion on
selected documents being under review by the IESG.
* Cross-working group review. RSVP documents may have relevance to
several working groups, including TSVWG and MPLS-related groups
such as MPLS WG and CCAMP WG. The directorate will ensure that
drafts submitted to TSV WG are reviewed in the appropriate MPLS-related
WGs if necessary, and will bring drafts from the MPLS-related WGs
to the attention of the TSV WG as appropriate.
The directorate can be reached at [email protected]. Additional
information about the directorate is at
