John,
My opinions on the items before us:
1. Unconfirmed routes: Go multicast, as was suggested by Justin Dean.
2. Gateways: Leave text in about Gateway router not being default router. I've
not heard, therefore it's not clear, exactly where Justin & Charlie are in
their discussion wrt Gateways. For example, is that the only issue left? Are
there substantial points remaining that might adversely affect a request for
last call?
Regards,
Stan

Good morning all
As you all know, draft submission cut off time is 2359 UTC on Monday 6 July
(= 0059 July 7 in UK). Vicky is on holiday next week, and Lotte is fast
approaching (if not already in) exam time, which means we need to go firm
on two topics currently under discussion by the time Vicky starts work at 0900
UK time tomorrow (so that's 0100 Friday for Charlie,
0400 Stan and 1000 Lotte) in order for Vicky to make final substantive
changes. Any remaining scraps can be tidied up on the Monday 6th when
Vicky returns from holiday and we can submit.
I believe Working Group Last Call does not mean we can't make any more
changes. You'll have seen (and some of you have lived) the changes to DLEP
as it went through and following the last call period. We still haven't had a
great deal of feedback from the working group which means they're either
busy, don't have an opinion, or are ok with it, but regardless we still need
to
plough on and come to consensus for now.
Details can still be worked on, and indeed I was just discussing with Vicky
the
prospect of an author team call while most of us are at Prague.
So the two topics are gateways and routes to neighbours.
I'm not going to direct the outcome, that wouldn't be fair, but I need you all
to come to a position of "good enough for now", to arrive at a document that
we can all defend at Prague, and that position needs to be arrived at by the
time mentioned above. This may mean each of you need to concede on
certain points of detail, perhaps against your better judgement, but it won't
be the last time we can change things.
I'm really pleased with the progress, we have come a long way. Let's work
together to get these last points agreed (for now) and written up.
Thanks and Best Regards
John
