RE: Draft RADEXT Virtual Interim Minutes



Woj --

The meetings of the RADEXT WG are openly publicized and are available to anyone (including people who are not physically present).  Presentations and agenda items are openly solicited.  If you would like time on the agenda of a physical or virtual meeting, all you need to do is to post a message to the WG list and your request will be honored. 

In your initial message (see http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2009/msg00552.html) you requested guidance as to whether it would be better for the work on IPv6 access to proceed with a draft focusing on an initial set of attributes along the lines of the original submission (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lourdelet-radext-ipv6-dhcp-00), or whether a combined submission would be preferable, along the lines of the -01 submission.

That is exactly the issue that is now under consideration within the Consensus Call that has been issued.  As noted in the virtual interim minutes, David Miles has suggested that the focused approach would be more likely to result in rapid progress, and other participants at the Virtual Interim agreed with this suggestion.

Since the IETF operates on "rough consensus", it is the duty of the Chairs to engage the WG participants on issues such as these, rather than making unilateral decisions.

Bernard,
 
this thread directly stems from the minutes of the meeting. On behalf of the draft authors I proposed a way forward and in relation to this I have asked you (as chair) repeatedly for some answers/clarifications. Now, given that at the n'th attempt you are still unable to answer them clearly is telling me and other folks that you're quite simply unwilling or unable to carry out your duties as chair of this WG.
 
Thanks,
Woj.

At the Virtual Interim, the RADEXT WG held a session devoted to next steps on the IPv6 access work.  During the session, David Miles suggested a path forward for the IPv6 Access work that appeared to have consensus among the Virtual Interim attendees. 

 

In order to confirm that consensus, the RADEXT WG has issued a Consensus Call to the mailing list (see   http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2009/msg00636.html).   Please feel free to express your opinions on the list relating to the consensus that was reached at the Interim.

Trying for the 4th time now:

 

- could you confirm that what my mail outlined in terms of moving forward is also your expectation? 

- Are you now convinced of "interest"? (and if not, or partially, then on what grounds?)

- could you point out (summarise)the issues that were not addressed?

 

Thanks,

Woj.
