RE: (M2PA) M2PA Implementor's Guide Kickoff

Hello Brian,

> and should not be the editor's personal pet peeve list for the
specification 

Personal pet peeves? Many of the defects I listed I obtained straight
from
other's posts on the SIGTRAN listserv. I posted them as a proposal to
kickoff
discussion.

I look forward to other's comments. If the community agrees to your
strict 
definition of 'defect' and that there are no M2PA 'defects', then there
won't be
a M2PA IG. If the only 'defect' is the processor outage text, then that
is what
the M2PA IG will address and nothing else.

Regards,

Jeff

Jeffrey,

I prefer the usual delta format.

There are no defects in the document that I know of.  (I would not have
passed the RFC by 48 hours if I knew of any.)

I think all of these "clarifications" (except one for PO) are
unnecessary.  Most of these were not mentioned even in passing on the
mailing list.  The I-G should try to represent consensus, addressing
issues raised on the mailing list or from interop tests, and should not
be the editor's personal pet peeve list for the specification.

Timer values should be addressed in an AS, not in the PS.

See draft-bidulock-sigtran-m2pa-test for specific examples of procedures
if you think the RFC lacks examples.
