Re: Internal WG Review: Common Control and Measurement Plane (ccamp)

Alex,

can you give an "exective summary" of what has changed?

The intro paragraph

 The CCAMP working group coordinates the work within the IETF defining
 a common control plane and a separate common measurement plane for ISP
 and SP physical path and core tunneling technologies (e.g. O-O and
 O-E-O optical switches, ATM and Frame Relay switches, MPLS, GRE) in
 cooperation with the MPLS WG. In this context, measurement refers to
 the acquisition and distribution of attributes relevant to the setting
 up of tunnels and paths.

has acquired some new text (everything from the first parenthesis out), and there is some text, like

- Define the relationship between layer 3 routing protocols and the
 common signalling protocol for establishing and maintaining paths.

that has disappeared. Too many changes for me to easily comprehend.....

if reviewed as a new charter, I'd say:

- SP and ISP appear core to the scope def, but are used without definition
- No mention of security - is this obvious enough to the participants that it doesn't need to be mentioned?
- nit: in the intro paragraph, you say "core tunneling technologies (e.g. O-O and O-E-O optical switches, ATM and Frame Relay switches, MPLS, GRE)" - grammar-wise, the first 4 named things are switches, the two last are protocols, and neither is a "technology". Understandable, but not easily parsed.
- the "tracetunnel" bullet point of "currently working on" doesn't seem to be reflected in the goals and milestones.

But this isn't a new charter. It might be better to get this charter out than to spend excessive time wordsmithing it, due to internal dynamics in the WG. I don't know what/how the WG is doing.

Thoughts?
