RADEXT Milestone revisions

["Bernard Aboba" <bernard_aboba@hotmail.com>]

As discussed at IETF 64, the O&M Area Directors have become increasingly 
concerned about the rate of progress within the RADEXT WG.  Several work 
items are more than a year behind, and so there is a desire to substantially 
increase the rate of progress, by completing late work
items as soon as possible.

To this end, the ADs have recently approved a modification to the RADEXT WG 
milestones which separates several documents into multiple, distinct work 
items:

a. The work now represented by the IEEE 802 document will be split into 
three separate documents, one focused on VLAN/Priority, one on basic 
filtering, and another document on redirection.

The pre-approved WG work item draft file names are:

draft-ietf-radext-vlan-priority-00.txt
draft-ietf-radext-filter-rules-00.txt
draft-ietf-radext-redirection-00.txt

b. The Design Guidelines document will be split into two work items, one a 
Standard track work item relating to extending the RADIUS attribute space, 
and another one a BCP on Design Guidelines.

The suggested individual submission (pre-WG) draft file names are:

draft-weber-radius-design-guidelines-nn.txt
draft-<editor-radext-extended-attributes-00.txt

c. The work on WLAN attributes will be split into two work items, one 
relating purely to WLAN attributes, and another one focused on 
crypto-agility.

d. The Issues & Fixes document will be split into two work items, one 
relating to Issues & Fixes, and other one focussing on clarifications (but 
not extensions) to RFC 3576.

The goal of this separation effort is to be able to complete the following 
work items quickly:

1. The VLAN/Priority document will be revised and brought to WG last call 
immediately with a goal of getting it to the IESG in March.

2. The Issues & Fixes document will be presented at IETF 65 with the goal of 
making it a WG work item and bringing it an initial WG last call quickly.

3. The WLAN attributes document will be presented at IETF 65 with the goal 
of making it a WG work item and bringing it to an initial WG last call 
quickly.

As part of this document re-organization, we have the opportunity to further 
spread the workload by assigning distinct document editors to each of the 
newly created "child documents".  The chairs will be contacting the existing 
"parent document" editors, as well as potential new "child document" editors 
to assess interest and availability. If you are interested in volunteering 
to edit a "child document", let us know.

The desired goal would be to complete the split and have new -00 documents 
submitted by the -00 deadline of Monday, February 27.  This is a bit 
aggressive.

Bernard Aboba
