The IETF MPLS-TP design team has successfully achieved its objectives. The main requirements work were published and the two subsidiary requirements documents (NM and OAM) were close to publication. The core work on the frameworks and solutions has started and were progressing. It was just natural to allow further work on MPLS-TP to continue using the IETF normal process to streamline the process and allow open participation by everyone in the industry. And as I indicated in previous mail, the design team worked on the design of the OAM solution in the f2f meeting in Stockholm, July 2009, and presented its recommendation to the MPLS WG in IETF 75. The recommendations were accepted and the WG started working on the solutions based on these recommendations.

Uh, yes. There are three statements, all of which are in the passive voice; they describe actions that were taken without describing what persons took the actions and on what authority. At this distance, I'm not sure that it matters, but if you are trying to enlighten those of us who were not involved in these events, leaving out all the *names* and even *organizational roles* makes everything obscure.
