Deadline: 15th March 2011

Thank you for your updated liaison statement "LS232 - Updated draft 
Recommendation G.8121 [Ref 042.01]" attaching WD19r2.

Please may I refer you to our earlier response of 15th January 2011 
entitled "Response to Updated draft Recommendation G.8121
[Ref 042.02]"

Additionally, since the text of draft Recommendation for G.8121
is based on an MPLS-TP OAM protocol not designed within the IETF
Standards Process this is a breach of the SG15 agreement
with the IETF as published in "Report of the first meeting
of Working Party 3/15 Transport network structures
(2009-2012)" (Geneva, 1 – 12 December 2008) which can
be found at http://www.itu.int/md/T09-SG15-R-0004/en. As a
consequence the MPLS WG has not been asked to review this
Draft Recommendation by the IETF management. When the ITU-T
SG15 liaises a draft Recommendation written in accordance
with the above agreement, IETF management will ask the MPLS
WG to perform an in depth review. We look forward to receiving
your next draft.

Please can we take this opportunity state that the IETF
is committed to developing the MPLS-TP solution as described
in the Joint Working Team Recommendations and meeting
the jointly agreed MPLS-TP requirements documented in
RFC5654.
