RE: (a) Inter-Area, (b) Inter-AS (c) both (d) neither

I agree that we should progress a) and b) independently, but take note of any possible synergies.

Also, icw item a):

Sudheer> Should we revive our inter-area drafts now
Jim> yes, please do.

Several of us collaborated on multi-area TE requirements a while back: http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/msg15882.html
has expired, but is still available at:
http://www.watersprings.org/links/mlr/id/draft-ash-multi-area-te-reqmts-01.txt

This can be updated and progressed if there is interest.

Thanks,
Jerry
