RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-test-sonet-sdh-00.txt

Hi Kireeti,

What is confusing people is that the new draft is not text 
split off from the original LMP specification but almost
entirely new text and subject matter, as Zhi points out.

Also, concerns were expressed on the mailing list that some
of the functions in LMP were not applicable in SONET/SDH,
_including_ link verification.  The new draft is basically
a set of extensions _to_ link verification.

Cheers,

L. Ong

draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-01.txt had material that was not already in
draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-00.txt.  How can it be already considered a working
group document item for CCAMP?  und so weiter ...  Are you suggesting
a new process for documents in the IETF, or is it just for documents
whose name contains the string 'lmp'?

<chair>
This draft is a separation of the original LMP draft into two documents,
as suggested by the primary AD: a *base* document, technology-agnostic,
and a SONET-SDH specific document.

The fact that the latter document has new material is in response to
requests from folks in CCAMP.  Both documents will undergo another WG
Last Call.
