All,

It seems that I have caused an upset with my last email on G.709 Framework
document. Sorry for that. I am told that "OTN for dummies" has been negatively
interpreted by at least one of you. I used this phrase "for dummies" in
reference to a series of popular books introducing all kind of subjects in a
readable format to none experts. I have used such books myself in the past. I
have a positive association with such books and their authors.

At the moment the "for dummies" thought came up in my mind, I noticed that the
G.709 framework document has strong similarities (explain OTN to non-experts
developing GMPLS for OTN). 
Combining this then with the reactions on earlier questions on redescriptions of
SDH within IETF documents (not to be done), I could only conclude that this
applies as well to OTN.

Then I made a mistake... I thought that version 01 of the document was aleady
published... it isn't of course. As the version isn't relevant to the issue I
was addressing, I should have referred to "G.709 Framework" in general instead.

Regards,

Maarten
