The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Signaling Extensions for G.709 Optical Transport 
   Networks Control '
   <draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g709-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane 
Working Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Alex Zinin and Bill Fenner.

Technical Summary
 
   This document is a companion to the Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) 
   signaling documents. It describes the technology specific 
   information needed to extend GMPLS signaling to control Optical 
   Transport Networks (OTN); it also includes the so-called pre-OTN 
   developments.  
 
Working Group Summary
 
   The WG had a consensus on advancing this document.
 
Protocol Quality
 
  Alex Zinin reviewed this document for the IESG.
  There is at least one implementation of the described mechanisms.
