The previous IETF Last Call on this document was in February 2018 for revision -13. Since then, the authors have made substantive changes in the document and we are now at revision -24. The authors and myself believe that the document is ready for IESG evaluation but I, as the shepherding AD, consider that the amount of changes requires a new IETF Last Call. Thank you for the review and thank you for the authors and the WG for the efforts put in this document Best regards -éric vyncke -----Original Message----- From: <iesg-secretary@xxxxxxxx> on behalf of The IESG <iesg-secretary@xxxxxxxx> Reply-To: "last-call@xxxxxxxx" <last-call@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tuesday, 7 April 2020 at 15:35 To: IETF-Announce <ietf-announce@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Sheng Jiang <jiangsheng@xxxxxxxxxx>, "jiangsheng@xxxxxxxxxx" <jiangsheng@xxxxxxxxxx>, "anima@xxxxxxxx" <anima@xxxxxxxx>, Eric Vyncke <evyncke@xxxxxxxxx>, "anima-chairs@xxxxxxxx" <anima-chairs@xxxxxxxx>, "draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane@xxxxxxxx" <draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane@xxxxxxxx> Subject: Last Call: <draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-24.txt> (An Autonomic Control Plane (ACP)) to Proposed Standard The IESG has received a request from the Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach WG (anima) to consider the following document: - 'An Autonomic Control Plane (ACP)' <draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-24.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2020-04-21. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Autonomic functions need a control plane to communicate, which depends on some addressing and routing. This Autonomic Control Plane should ideally be self-managing, and as independent as possible of configuration. This document defines such a plane and calls it the "Autonomic Control Plane", with the primary use as a control plane for autonomic functions. It also serves as a "virtual out-of-band channel" for Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) communications over a network that provides automatically configured hop-by-hop authenticated and encrypted communications via automatically configured IPv6 even when the network is not configured, or misconfigured.
