ASON routing reqts design team

[Kireeti Kompella <kireeti@juniper.net>]

Hi All,

A new Design Team in the CCAMP WG has been formed.  The team members
and charter follow.

Please send comments to the CCAMP list.  The DT has an aggressive
schedule, so constructive comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all the DT members for accepting this responsibility!

Kireeti.

 ASON Routing Requirements Design Team

 Charter:

     To understand the requirements for ASON routing so as to capture
     what's missing from current CCAMP work in a "GMPLS ASON Routing
     Requirements" document.  The ground rules are the same as for
     ASON signaling requirements: no requirement will be considered in
     this document that is not an ASON routing requirement (as decided
     by those working on Questions 12 and 14 of Study Group 15).

     Requirements should be justified briefly and prioritized.  If
     needed, a section on terminology should be included.  No attempt
     should be made in this document to do protocol design or suggest
     protocol extensions.

     Finally, this design team is responsible for drafting Liaison
     statements from the CCAMP WG to the ITU regarding GMPLS ASON
     routing requirements, as well as for drafting replies to Liaisons
     received from the ITU.  Note that no Liaisons drafted by the design
     team will be sent or replied to without rough consensus of the
     CCAMP WG and approval from the WG chairs and ADs.

     Standard design team disclaimer: this design team has no special
     status in the CCAMP WG.  Any documents they produce are subject
     to the usual WG procedures.  Individuals are encouraged to
     interact with the design team, to offer suggestions and, if they
     feel so inclined, to submit their own drafts.
