[RRG] Updated IRTF-RRG draft

[Avri Doria <avri@acm.org>]

Hi,

Last week both the "Routing Requirements Draft" and 'Analysis of IDR  
Requirements and History' were updated (specifics below).  These  
drafts have been in the pipeline for a while and this last update  
took a while to complete.   Hopefully with these updates, the  
documents are essentially complete and ready to go.

What Elwyn and I would like to do, is try to get these drafts through  
the new IRTF review process so that they can be published as  
Informational RFCs with the IRTF brand.  The IRTF process is defined in
draft-irtf-rfc-00.txt (expired) which can be found at:
  http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-irtf-rfcs-00.txt

Note: These drafts need to go through together as they are  
complementary and refer to each other.

To that end I am asking the RRG to actively review these documents.   
The review period will last 1 month ending on 9 October.  At that  
point if there is a rough consensus in this group to take these  
drafts through to the IRSG for publication review then we will do  
so.  Since I am invovled as co-editor of both documents, I will look  
for someone else to shepherd them through the process with  
publication.  Assuming that the process of appointing a co-chair is  
successful, I will ask that person to take this task and to determine  
whether there is rough consensus.  If for some reason this does not  
work out, I will consult with the IRTF chair and the IRSG to come up  
with a satisfactory person for the shepherds job.

thanks

a.

	Title		: Requirements for Inter-Domain Routing

These requirements for routing architectures are the product of two
   sub-groups with the IRTF Routing Research Group.  They represent two
   individual and separate views of the problem and of what is required
   to fix the problem.  While speaking of requirements, the document is
   actually a recommendation to anyone who would create a routing
   architecture for the Internet in the coming years.

(Note: Actually Elwyn and I have switched roles and he is the primary  
editor on this one, but in previous versions I was the listed as the  
primary editor)

This document analyses the current state of IDR routing with respect
   to RFC1026 and other IDR requirements and design efforts.  It is the
   companion document to "Requirements for Inter-Domain Routing"
   [I-D.irtf-routing-reqs], which is a discussion of requirements for
   the future routing architecture and future routing protocols.
