Huub, Good that you mention that you were part of the design team! That is correct. You were also part of the team that worked in the face-to-face MEAD team meeting in Stockholm, July 2009, on the design and the technical direction for OAM in MPLS-TP. You were part of the team that presented the outcome of the MEAD team meeting and their recommendations to the MPLS WG in Stockholm. The IETF has started working on the solution based on these recommendations! See the authors in http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/75/slides/mpls-17/mpls-17_files/frame.htm.

Others with more detailed > knowledge can explain exactly why this is, er, a lie. Here are some facts: =================== I was member of the MEAD team. A meeting of the MEAD team was scheduled to meet in Munich 12-14 October 2009. It was scheduled right after an ITU-T SG15 plenary meeting (September 28 - October 9) because MEAD team members attended that meeting too. On Friday October 2nd an agenda was distributed for the MEAD team for the meeting in Munich on the MEAD team list mead@xxxxxxxxx On Monday October 5th an email was sent to mead@xxxxxxxx announcing the disbanding of the MEAD team, and that the meeting in Munich should not be considered a MEAD team meeting. The decision to disband the MEAD team was liaised to the ITU-T on the same day (October 5). Do I need to say more. Regards, Huub. -- ***************************************************************** æçåçääää _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
