[AVT] PROTO writeup for publication of draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-non-compound-08



    (1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Has the
          Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the
          document and, in particular, does he or she believe this
          version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication?

Tom Taylor is Document Shepherd. I have reviewed this version of the document. I believe that this version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication.

    (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members
          and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have
          any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that
          have been performed?

The document has had thorough discussion and review from WG members. Aspects relating to SDP have been presented to MMUSIC for comment.

    (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document
          needs more review from a particular or broader perspective,
          e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with
          AAA, internationalization or XML?

No concerns.

    (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or
          issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director
          and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he
          or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or
          has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any
          event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated
          that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those
          concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document
          been filed? If so, please include a reference to the
          disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on
          this issue.

No personal concerns. No IPR disclosures found.

    (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it
          represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with
          others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and
          agree with it?

When the initial proposals were presented (end of 2006), they provoked considerable concern and discussion because they violated current RFC 3550 rules. Over the two years since, agreement has been reached on the acceptable modifications to RFC 3550 rules and the concerns that have to be documented along with them. The current document has strong WG consensus.

    (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
          discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in
          separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It
          should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is
          entered into the ID Tracker.)

No.

    (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the
          document satisfies all ID nits? (See
          http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and
          http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are
          not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document
          met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB
          Doctor, media type and URI type reviews?

OK, except that boilerplate is not the latest.

    (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and
          informative? Are there normative references to documents that
          are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear
          state? If such normative references exist, what is the
          strategy for their completion? Are there normative references
          that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If
          so, list these downward references to support the Area
          Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967].

OK

    (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA
          consideration section exists and is consistent with the body
          of the document? If the document specifies protocol
          extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA
          registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If
          the document creates a new registry, does it define the
          proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation
          procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a
          reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the
          document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd
          conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG
          can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation?

OK

    (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the
          document that are written in a formal language, such as XML
          code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in
          an automated checker?

    (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document
          Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document
          Announcement Write-Up? Recent examples can be found in the
          "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
          announcement contains the following sections:

          Technical Summary
   This memo discusses benefits and issues that arise when allowing RTCP
   packets to be transmitted with reduced size.  The size can be reduced
   if the rules on how to create compound packets outlined in RFC3550
   are removed or changed.  Based on that analysis this memo defines
   certain changes to the rules to allow feedback messages to be sent as
   reduced-size RTCP packets under certain conditions when using the RTP
   AVPF profile (RFC 4585).  This document updates [RFC3550], [RFC3711]
   and [RFC4585].



          Working Group Summary
When the initial proposals for reduced-size RTCP reports were presented (end of 2006), they provoked considerable concern and discussion because they violated current RFC 3550 rules. Over the two years since, agreement has been reached on the acceptable modifications to RFC 3550 rules and the concerns that have to be documented along with them. The current document has strong WG consensus.

          Document Quality
Colin Perkins and Randell Jesup provided oversight and insight throughout the evolution of this document.
