Hi!

Sorry for the delay in closing on this item.  This call for adoption closed a few weeks ago.

Considering the support at the meeting in Taipei and the votes on the mailing list, we are adopting the MRT Architecture draft as a WG item.

Authors: Please go ahead and post the draft-rtgwg- document.

As the text below says, the multicast-related sections should be moved into a separate document (individual submission) which we will consider separately.

Thanks!

Alvaro.

Subject: Adoption of the MRT Architecture Draft as WG Document

Hi!

As discussed at the meeting in Taipei, this e-mail is a call for adoption of the MRT Architecture draft as a WG item.  There was strong support in the room.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-atlas-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture

As was also suggested at the meeting, the multicast-related sections (4.3 and 4.4) will be moved into a separate document (to be discussed separately).

It was also brought up that the draft has an IPR claim attached to it.  The following links are to the IPR claim and to the application itself (provided by the authors):

https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1594/
http://www.wipo.int/patentscope/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2010055408&recNum=1&docAn=IB2009007467&queryString=FP:%28PCT/IB2009/007467%29&maxRec=1<blocked::http://www.wipo.int/patentscope/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2010055408&recNum=1&docAn=IB2009007467&queryString=FP:(PCT/IB2009/007467)&maxRec=1>

As a reminder, having an IPR claim does not disqualify a draft from advancing in the IETF, being adopted by a working group or from eventually becoming a standard.  It just represents one more item to be considered by the working group.    http://www.ietf.org/ipr/policy.html

Please post your opinions and votes about adoption to the list.  We will keep this discussion open until Dec/12, 2011.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
