Folks,
At the RRG meeting on Monday we talked a bit about
this ("convergence"). IIRC, Tony mentioned the
design-goals document (draft-irtf-rrg-design-goals-01.txt)
as a source of evaluation criteria. My concern is that
there is not enough detail in the draft to form the basis
of a decision process (which ever one we use, which is
another question).
So my question is: Do folks feel that this document
contains sufficient detail (at least to a first
approximation) to make an informed decision, and if not,
how do we plan to do to obtain that detail?
Thnx,
Dave
