Hi Scott and John, I don't see this as inconsistent with the current 2-stage proposal, if the latter's omission of a requirement for independent interoperable implementations for stage 2 is corrected. I don't, however, believe that the problems are separable. The bar for PS has crept up, IMHO, precisely because the bar for DS/STD has appeared too high to be readily attainable. So I see two ways forward that hang together: 1. draft-bradner-restore-proposed + (draft-housley-two-maturity-levels + independent interoperable implementations) 2. draft-loughney-newtrk-one-size-fits-all-01 (i.e. simply abolish the second and third stages, and make interoperability reports optional) I prefer #1.
