Dear WG Chairs,
I have a question about the proposed note to be added if the document is
adopted by the SPRING WG:

Given that the working group has said that it wants to standardize one data
plane solution, and given that the document contains multiple SRv6 EndPoint
behaviors that some WG members have stated are multiple data plane
solutions, the working group will address whether this is valid and
coherent with its one data plane solution objective.

It seems that there's some logical contradiction in the note. On one hand,
it acknowledges that the WG unanimously supported adoption of one and only
one data plane solution to compress SRv6 SIDs. Also, the note recognizes
that the draft, as many WG participants stressed in the discussion,
describes at least two different data plane solutions. Given that, I am
puzzled by the phrase "whether this is valid and coherent with its one data
plane solution objective". It seems as contradiction - two solutions are
not coherent with the agreement to standardize a single solution. Perhaps
the note can be more clear about how the WG will achieve "its one data
plane solution objective".

Regards,
Greg
