Stewart/Adrian:

I included below the updated rtgwg charter for your final review before asking the IESG for publication.

The charter has been discussed in the mailing list (cc'd) and then at the last in-person meeting in Taipei.

Thanks!

Alvaro.

Description of the Working Group:

The Routing area receives occasional proposals for the development and
publication of RFCs dealing with routing topics, but for which the
required work does not yet rise to the level where a new working group is
justified, yet the topic does not fit with an existing working group,
and it is either not ready for a BOF or a single BOF would not
provide the time to ensure a mature proposal. The RTGWG will serve as
the forum for developing these types of proposals.

The RTGWG also focuses on enhancements to hop-by-hop distributed routing
related to fast-reroute and loop-free convergence.  A specific goal of
fast-reroute mechanisms is to provide up to complete coverage when the
potential failure would not partition the network.  All work in this
area should be specifically evaluated by the WG in terms of practicality
and applicability to deployed networks.

The RTGWG mailing list will be used to discuss the proposals as they
arise. The working group will meet if there are one or more active
proposals that require discussion.

The working group milestones will be updated as needed to reflect the
proposals currently being worked on and the target dates for their
completion. New milestones will be first reviewed by the IESG. The
working group will be on-going as long as the ADs believe it serves a
useful purpose.
