Joe,

Thanks for concluding the WG LC. Adrian and I are working through the comments 
with the commenters and on-list. 
We will be posting a new revision as we progress on this exercise, and signal 
to the chairs and list.

Here's some additional follow-ups and responses. 

Tom/Joe -- title typo fixed.

Tom, thanks for a useful review and comments!!! We are working through 
incorporating the fixes, not only in the areas that Adrian identified and 
proposed changes, but also throughout.

Roni, thanks much for the GENART review that says:
> The document is ready for publication as a best current practice document.


Tiamran, Thanks for the interest and commenting! 
Please find responses to your two comments comments:
1.
> RFC7799 did the same thing. Why this draft could do better than it?
The document already explains the relationship with 7799 -- it is not trying to 
change it, it is not in a competition to be better than it; rfc7799 mentions 
"passive methods" and "out of band", and this doc clarifies how that mention 
relations to this document.
This document is actually updating RFC6291, and fortunately the authors of 
RFC6291 provided already explicit on-list support to this approach (we checked 
before diving too deep).
[Unrelated, also, are you suggesting that RFC7799 cannot be improved? That's 
not what Characterizing OAM is trying to do -- but surely there are 
improvements to it.]

2.
> I have a suggestion not to define new terms any more. Just use descriptive 
> language to classify OAM tools in different ways.
This is a suggestion that we absolutely considered and discussed, and the 
problem is that documents continue to use terms that are not defined 
anywhere... so documents continue to either:
1.  Use pre-used terms (like "in-band oam") assuming definitions and being used 
in mutually contradictory ways.
2.  Define their own terms (typically longer variations of foo-bar in-band-ish 
oam) on a document-by-document basis without consideration to other WGs or 
collisions with other documents. I already showed on this list examples of this.

Med, Greg, will respond to your comments on separate emails, since they are 
longer, for an easier follow-up.

Thank you for the support on the document, Xiao, Med, 

Best,

Carlos.
