Re: [Enum] WG: New Draft: Trunk Group Use in ENUM RESTART - Secondrequest for guidence



Hi Don et al.

IMHO it doesn't matter at this point in time whether it will be BCP or informational at the end of the day.

The more important question is find a proper home for this work: I propose this home to be SPEERMINT. This work, YMMV, is much closer to the SPEERMINT WG charter than to the ENUM WG charter. In case SPEERMINT won't take it, it's up to DISPATCH to decide on this.

cheers,
 Bernie

All,

After some thought, I think there is value in maneuvering this document toward a BCP.  It will take some work -- in my opinion, the debate involving a draft service type should be removed.  There is room to consider this a BCP because there exists the potential for different interpretations of the handling of trunk group information.  Should such information be interpreted locally to the ENUM client or added to the RURI for downstream handling?  Is this a matter of local policy?

Also consider that if application of the technique in actual networks is a litmus test, there is enough precedent out there to consider this a BCP.

All,

I personally think it should be considered as a BCP.  The main purpose is to
not simply "suggest" the use of the parameters in the SIP URI NAPTR, but
rather to say "it really, really should be done this way.  In fact, if you
do not do it this way, then you will likely be out of compatibility with
most implementations."  I think this is the best way to ensure industry
consistency.  This being said, if there is consensus to push it forward as
Informational, it is better to be documented than not at all, in my opinion.

Don, you commented before on this draft, do you have a perspective on the
value of this draft moving forward relative to the discussion?

Regards,

Daryl

 Richard, fellow WG members,

 I agree with Peter, as i think the real question is whether the WG
 want
 to continue pursue the draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup ENUMservice or not.

Well my original intent was to 'clear the queue' so to speak and I'm
personally convinced this is an important draft to document. Its starting to
deploy now. I apologize if I had to 'shake the tree' so to speak to get
someone to finally answer the question on what to do.

 The question whether the group wants to adopt the
 draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip is seperate from that - but i like the way
 that Peter proposed.

Its fine with me as well.


1) Is anybody but the authors/editors of the respective drafts
 believes the WG
   should say anything in this direction (trunk groups). [But see
 the "price tag"
   under (4)]

 I think it is somehow *related* to ENUM because of the Enumservice
 that  we are trying to get rid. Otherwise, i don't see why it would fit
into
 ENUM. For example, it might well fit into DISPATCH as well?

IMHO it's a individual draft or a ENUM WG draft I would not suggest to the
authors to go down the DISPATCH path. I currently have limited confidence in
the way DISPATCH will operate until proven otherwise. I'm personally pretty
disgusted actually. You have seen SIPPING flipped to DISPATCH. So whats the
difference except you have new chairs and not really new chairs at that.


2) Do you agree to abandon the approach in draft-ietf-enum-
 trunkgroup-00.txt?

 Yes

As the co-author yes. As for Informational vs BCP I can live with
informational but I'll let Daryl comment on that.


3) Is the content of draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt a better
 start instead?

 Yes

Yes Either would work but this malas 00 IMHO is a much simpler approach and
would work equally as well. The document needs to be rewritten but that is a
wordsmithing issue.


4) Is anybody willing to review draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt?

 If it becomes an ENUM WG document, i might have to, being the
 secretary
 of the ENUM WG.

Then publish draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt as draft-ietf-enum-
 trunkgroup-01.txt,
changing the intended state to Informational.

 I would prefer if the WG concensus would be to remove
 draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup from the WG "menu" entirely, and
 documenting  the decision in draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip, but find a WG
that suits
 better such SIP operational issues than the ENUM group.

Not going to happen. SPEERMINT wont take it and it the new RAI org is IMHO
just a reshuffling of the deck chairs. Pick your ship.

Its here or individual submission.



 The solution that Peter proposed is also viable, if authors and chairs
 believe that's a faster way. I just don't think the WG should accept
 new  work, given it's current status of being slowly move to the
pathology
 department.

IMHO finishing the work here with a single document the right way to go.
Lets clear the issue off the table. I don't like pushing off work to some
other WG that we should have completed ourselves. That's not right. We
agreed to do this in the first place, lets finish it.



 Just to make clear: Content-wise, i definitely prefer the solution
 proposed in draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip. I'm just not entirely happy
 with  the sloppy process.


Well it got caught is the process. It nothing new for WG's. You want bad
process I can talk about my current discussions with the IAB over the
liaison letter to SG2 over Infrastructure ENUM.
