ITU Liaison regarding ASON Requirements Design Team

["Brungard, Deborah A" <dbrungard@att.com>]

CCAMP,

The design team proposes the following ITU-T liaison on the creation of the ASON Routing Requirements DT and it's charter. We would like to request consensus from CCAMP for forwarding this liaison to ITU-T SG15. The next meeting of SG15 is Oct. 21-31. We would like to request comments by October 21 to allow for this liaison to be forwarded next week to SG15 (cc to Q12/15 Rapporteur, Malcolm Betts, betts01@nortelnetworks.com and Q14/15 Rapporteur, Kam Lam, hklam@lucent.com).

Thanks,
Deborah

We would like to inform Q12/15 and Q14/15 that IETF CCAMP WG has initiated a Design Team on GMPLS ASON Routing Requirements. The GMPLS ASON Routing Requirements Design Team's Charter is as follows:

"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."

We expect to liaison to you a draft of the above WG document during Nov. 2003. We wish to work with you cooperatively on this document and we would appreciate your assistance in reviewing this draft.
