Hi Kensuke, Adrian, and CCAMPers,

Comments in-line. (Sorry, forgot the relevant message in the
previous email.)

I think Kensuke makes a very valid point.

Namely, that the carrier survey, in addition to focusing on specific 
carrier inputs regarding GMPLS and shared mesh, has also become 
a catalyst for a more general discussion of how carriers are 
using/planning to use GMPLS technology in various types of
networks and in various configurations.

This is a question that did come up as we endeavored
to contact the carriers to systematically gather their inputs
on shared mesh aspects, which are reflected in this draft.
We will, however, be posting an update with 
the additional inputs that we have received so far for expanding it (both
on and off the list), and will provide a pointer soon.

Thus, the survey actually relates directly to all of the
CCAMP charter work, and should be discussed in San Diego. 

The purpose of a face-to-face discussion will be
to: discuss the specific points that Kensuke and others have
raised, to evaluate what further aspects should be covered 
in the survey, and discuss how to interpret the current results.

(A mailing list discussion is, of course, important, and we
will continue with that, but there are specific inputs that can 
be obtained in a WG meeting discussion that are simply not possible 
on a ML; if that was not so, we wouldn't need any IETF meetings!)

Given that a vast majority of the CCAMP WG work centers on
GMPLS technology, a discussion of the survey in San Diego
seems very appropriate.
