Re: [netmod] Wrapping up system-creatable



You said "Please try to choose one..."
With that dictum in mind:  5 would be my preference.

I will say that I think 1 would be a serious mistake, as it is likely to induce interoperability failures.

Hi,

The various documents have been updated in advance of the upcoming IETF, and, unless I'm mistaken, we seem to have one sticky issue left to clear up, and that is what to do about system-creatable.

Last week, Martin published a set of possible choices of what we could do.

It would be helpful if everyone who cares would reply to this message telling me / the group what you think the right answer is.

The choices are below. If you think there are other possible choices, please say so. I've renumbered just to try to make it clearer what you're "voting" for.

1. Do nothing in the draft and let implementations and data models figure out
how/if/when/why the server can modify the configuration data.

2. Do nothing but write in the document that we _know_ it's an issue but we're still not doing anything.

3. Add text that says that the server MUST NOT modify config data unless dictated by the data model (through description clauses or future extensions).

4. Add text that says that the server is free to modify config data in any way it wants, unless constrained by the data model (through description clauses or future extensions).

5. Add formal statements (e.g. the current s-c) to control how the server can modfiy config.

Please let your voice be heard as soon as possible. Please try to choose one...

Thanks.

David
