ITU Liaison regarding ASON Requirements Design Team

[Kireeti Kompella <kireeti@juniper.net>]

Dear Mr. Lam and Mr. Betts,

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
Dec. 2003.  We wish to work with you cooperatively on this document
and we would appreciate your assistance in reviewing this draft.

Thank you,
Kireeti Kompella & Adrian Farrel
CCAMP WG chairs, IETF
