If that is the case, and if we want to do that in IETF CCAMP 
(not sure it is part of the current CCAMP charter),
then it seems to me that we (CCAMP) should excercise these steps:

- send some liason to ITU-T SG 15 to explain that we found that
  there seems to be a GMPLS (for IETF) and a GMPLS-ASON standard
- that we think that this is NOT goodness, and that we regret that
  we did send the ASON people away a few years back and did not
  closely follow their work in ITU
- that we now believe that we should have worked better together,
- that we would like to explore ways to try and mrege the two
  solution back into one common solution

And then await the response and hope ITU will agree and then see
how the work can be organized.
