Subject: [tcpm] Moving forward draft-touch-sne on independent stream?

Hi all,

Joe has submitted draft-touch-sne to the ISE asking for publication of an RFC on the Independent Stream. (Background: An RFC on Independent Stream is not an IETF standard.)

Publication on independent stream would be possible provided that the document does not conflict with TCPM or other IETF work. An obvious alternative would be homing the document in TCPM (or TSVWG) as an official WG item - but this is not what is currently proposed.

A link to the document is:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-touch-sne

Note that the current header field "TCPM" would have to be replaced in the further publication process, as documents on the independent stream are not the outcome of an IETF WG.

The TCPM chairs have reviewed draft-touch-sne. Our current understanding that there would be no harm caused by such an independent stream publication. As far as RFC 5925 is affected, we assume that an Errata would be possible and sufficient.

Before we get back to the ISE regarding this document, we would like to cross-check whether our understanding is indeed the TCPM consensus:

Are there any concerns inside the TCPM community regarding a publication of draft-touch-sne draft-touch-sne on independent stream? If so, please speak up!

Thanks

Michael
on behalf of all chairs
