I want the whole community to be aware of the comments that I made to the press over the past few days. Last Friday, the ITU-T Study Group 15 decided to move forward with an OAM solution that is incompatible with the work being done in the IETF MPLS WG. This is a breach of the agreement reached by the IETF and the ITU-T, which is published in RFC 5317. The ITU-T press release about their action is here: http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2011/03.aspx On behalf of the IETF, ISOC helped get the word out: http://isoc.org/wp/newsletter/?p=3287 The press is starting to cover the story: http://www.eweekeurope.co.uk/news/ietf-slams-itu-standards-vote-22392 http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=8B71BD58-1A64-6A71-CE24B4B4EB59B200 And, the ITU-T made a second announcement today: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/newslog/Experts+Cast+Doubt+On+Jeopardize+Internet+Statement.aspx I expect that there will be more press coverage of this unfortunate situation.
