Hi, Linda - (I’ve changed the message Subject to better reflect this topic.)

Since the MILESTONEs have separate items for IESG Review and WG > adoption for many drafts, it is necessary to list VM Mobility as well. I see two related questions here. First is the question about whether we need to create a milestone for the VM Mobility draft. Second is whether it is ready for last call. On the first topic, I don’t see value in debating this, but I will explain my decision. I consider the VM Mobility draft to be a “companion” to the Problem Statement. And I assert that if it is complete (or nearly complete) then a milestone is unnecessary from a management tracking perspective. Thus, we do not need another milestone specifically for a VM Mobility Issues document unless the WG feels that it needs more work, material changes, etc. On the second topic, personally I agree with you that the VM Mobility Issues draft should be last-called soon. However, I’ve had some private feedback that I’d like to see discussed on the list before we take that step. Specifically, a couple people commented that the draft is unnecessary, questioning whether it adds materially to what is already captured in the Problem Statement. I’m not endorsing this point of view, but nor am I challenging it. Thus, in my last message I submitted a request for you to present the draft at the upcoming interim meeting, to give us a chance to discuss this feedback. I’m also happy to discus this here on the mailing list. But I’d like to see some kind of response before making a decision to last-call the draft. Thanks, -Benson _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
