Hi, I have reviewed draft-dusseault-impl-reports-02 from operations directorate point of view. Operations directorate reviews are solicited primarily to help the area directors improve their efficiency, particularly when preparing for IESG telechats, and allowing them to focus on documents requiring their attention and spend less time on the trouble-free ones. Improving the documents is important, but clearly a secondary purpose. A third purpose is to broaden the OpsDir reviewers' exposure to work going on in other parts of the IETF. Reviews from OpsDir members do not in and of themselves cause the IESG to raise issue with a document. The reviews may, however, convince individual IESG members to raise concern over a particular document requiring further discussion. The reviews, particularly those conducted in last call and earlier, may also help the document editors improve their documents. draft-dusseault-impl-reports-02 describes updates to existing processes for implementation and interoperability reports, and provides recommendations about the level of detail required. The document is about IETF standards process, is well written, and introduces no new operational or management concerns. >From an opsdir perspective, I would like to see more recommended discussion of whether the reported implementations are able to be monitored and configured in a consistent manner, since that is also part of interoperability, and can be a significant factor in operational expense and ease of deployment, but is often omitted from the protocol specification itself.
