The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS TP Network Management Requirements ' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-nm-req-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard This is a 2nd last call on this document. The first last call should have pointed explicitly to the normative references to two Informational RFCs: - RFC 3871 "Operational Security Requirements for Large Internet Service Provider (ISP) IP Network Infrastructure", and - RFC 4377 "Operations and Management (OAM) Requirements for Multi- Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) Networks". This last call is focused solely on whether these downrefs are appropriate in this document. These downrefs are not intended to create a precedent and there is no plan to add the referenced RFCs to the downref registry. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2009-11-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. The file can be obtained via http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-nm-req-06.txt IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=18244&rfc_flag=0 _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
