Evolvability, Deployability, & Maintainability (EDM) Program

This program will focus on how to practically encourage best practices =
within the IETF to ensure that the IETF=E2=80=99s standards process =
considers protocol evolution, deployability, and long-term =
maintainability. This group will work on documents that catalog and =
analyze successful strategies for protocol evolution, deployment, and =
maintenance, such as updating and extending RFC 6709. Moreover, it will =
focus on ways to help promote and increase awareness of these strategies =
within the IETF via program meetings, workshops, and helping organize =
efforts within working groups and various IETF teams. The program will =
include members of the IESG and the tools team to help implement these =
strategies.

The topics this group will consider include:

Evolvability: Encourage protocols to design for extensibility and =
greasing, and promote the use of extension points to prevent =
ossification. Make it easy for people, especially those who aren=E2=80=99t=
 steeped in IETF process, to know which extension points are the right =
ones to use for a given protocol (and which ones should be considered =
more stable/ossified), and make sure there aren't high allocation =
barriers to use those extension points.

Deployability: Focus on how we make =E2=80=9Crunning code=E2=80=9D =
something that is better integrated into the working group process. Look =
at methods to catalog implementations, tools for tracking =
interoperability testing on different protocol versions, or repositories =
of which versions of protocols are implemented and used on the Internet. =
Discuss how deployments can advertise experiments they are running.

Maintainability: Many working groups have expressed a desire to have =
ways for the community of protocol designers and implementers to keep =
track of the current state of affairs in deployment patterns, known =
errata/bugs, or best practices. Help promote consistent ways to host =
non-RFC working group output, like FAQs, wikis, and discussion venues. =
Consider how this community involvement can continue and involve the =
right experts, even after a working group closes.

The program will:
	=E2=80=A2 Engage with the IETF community and implementers =
outside of the IETF to identity successes and problem areas, and collect =
ideas for improvements.
	=E2=80=A2 Work with the IESG and directorates to determine how =
best practices for evolvability can best be applied during IESG review =
and IETF last call.
	=E2=80=A2 Work with the IESG and tools team on ways to connect =
implementers and communities that develop and maintain protocols, both =
while a working group is active, and after a working group has concluded =
its charter.=

Std toerless rant#1: The Internet is the 10% above waterline of the iceberg which is IETF protocols. Please do not ignore the remaining other 90% of "private network" use. Maybe use term "ITF protocols" or something similar to make it clear whether you want to target 10% or 100% (or anything in between).

I would like to see the work item point:
  "IESG safe documentation of extension point / behavior / possible benefits"

Explanation: i had a painfull IESG review of a draft of mine where we used
a simple terminology at the end of sections saying things like 

"future work may <example of use of an extension point / benefit / ...>".

The IESG review feedback (primarily from GEN) was that this draft looked
unfinished and should not be standardized because of the repeated use of the
term "future work". I had to remove all of this text, partially putting
things into non-normative appendices, etc.. pp.

In later IESG review i had to add some notes about future work with this
terminology, 

Now it is impossible (like in IMHO all other RFC) to easily find extension
point documentation in my draft consistently.

At the risk of getting into a similar endless debate as Mirja's good intentioned
update to "update", maybe there could be terminology like "FUTURE" that
allows to formally show / explain extension points. Or anything else to
easier document them through the IESG review process.

> Deployability: Focus on how we make ???running code??? something that is better integrated into the working group process. Look at methods to catalog implementations, tools for tracking interoperability testing on different protocol versions, or repositories of which versions of protocols are implemented and used on the Internet. Discuss how deployments can advertise experiments they are running.

I think you are listing what likely are the key issues for application/software
centric issues with deployability (down to at most host-stack).

For deployability on network "equipment", router/switches/gateways with
hardware accelerated forwarding and other processing planes, there
are additional considerations IMHO most important for this space:

Models for internal behavior of forwarding/control-plane against which to
assess behavior/scalability/cost of proposed protocols (amount of state,
complexity of QoS / packet processing),.. Architecture direction to evolve
these type of protocol devices into a more "software centric" model.

For example, it took about a decade in my memory before IETF would even
include terms like RIB or FIB into routing area protocol RC because
"dogmatic" IETF persons did reject them in before as something not
externally visible and hence irrelevant to interop behavior.

We had last year a session to talk about router forwarding planes where
a bit of this was touched, but we never followed up with any documentation
in form of BCPs and the like. Obviously this is a lot of work, but
IMHO well worth it if not required for future evolution.

For example 2: I still have ongoing discussions with IESG about the validity
of internal interfaces between SW components in routers in standards track
documents, because it supposedly does not impact interoperability (between
devices), and the mere thought that these software components could be
from different vendors has not entered the mindset of most IESG people working
 with routers.

Definitely, but... (see below)

This would all be great work to do if it was not executed ONLY via a current
IAB program. This is too important work to be subject to the whim of
IAB member interest. Its not maintaineable if its only done via an
IAB program.

IMHO, this should be an IAB AG (architecture group) that has IAB
members (like IESG members) as sponsors and creators, but which has
AG chairs running a standard RG/WG process, that can persist beyond
the terms of individual IAB members interests, and that isn't subject
to all the other issues i have with IAB processes.

Aka: No need to work on maintaineability if the process to work on
maintainability is not maintainable.

Tommy,

A good topic. But there's an elephant in the corner of the room and I'm n=
ot sure you can ignore it. The same elephant is in the corner of the room=
 where we're discussing the future role of the RFC Series Editor, althoug=
h I've argued that it shouldn't be there because it's an IETF problem.

To what extent is the standards process itself the enemy of Evolvability,=
 Deployability, and Maintainability? In particular, does the way we handl=
e document revisions and interdependencies make it harder for implementor=
s and operators do decide which features to implement and deploy? Why don=
't we issue many more of what RFC2026 calls "applicability statements"? W=
hy don't we issue living documents that define which documents are part o=
f a particular standard at a particular time?

It's not that we've never done this to some extent. RFC4294->RFC6434->RFC=
8504 is an example, but only 3 versions over 13 years is grossly inadequa=
te. An update every 6 months might have been more appropriate.

SMTP has been the classical example for many years, and I suspect that RT=
CWEB might furnish another good example of this problem before long.

Regards
   Brian Carpenter

Brian:

I thought to remember tht Warren mentioned last year some interest
in new processes for "living documents" primarily in OPS. Have
not tracked enough mailing lists to know if/what is happening (if anything),
but i agree that those different type of document lifecycle models
would be crucial to tackle the topics proposed.

But i think it would be perfect to simply learn by doing, and not
bother too much about FIRST working out the document structure and THEN
commit the payload.

Aka: this could be a good set of topics for a living-document-hackathon.

Cheers

Hi Brian,

(Maybe not directly a question for you but...)

Do we have evidence as to the (good, bad or neutral) impact
of the stately pace of the evolution of email standards-
track  RFCs? I could imagine the net effect being overall
positive or negative but am unsure which may be the case. I
suspect it may be more likely that the actual impact is not
correlated with RFC numbers at all, but that may also be
wrong.

Cheers,
S.

Brian, I doubt that we could have reached anything resembling rough 
consensus on changes (to IPv6) every six months.  I suspect (although 
this is very much a subjective guess) that focusing on such six-monthly 
deliverables would have made it even harder to get agreement on the hard 
issues that did finally get addressed (however badly) in the revision.

Yours,
Joel

Well yes, it would have been extra work and six-monthly might be too
ambitious, but once every 6.5 years was definitely too little. The
underlying issue is that we don't have a mechanism for this at all,
so either people make one up (like Router Requirements, which also
seems to be a little out of date), or we leave implementors and
operators on their own with a heap of RFCs.

Hi Tommy,

This looks like a good initiative.  If there is something the IAB can do to pave the way for multiple protocol communities, then that is good.  There are commonalities in the problems we face, so collating different means of managing those problems is valuable.

More concretely, if this group decides that publishing an RFC is anathema to a particular goal, that is information for others to consider, and a problem to engineer around for this group.

This would seem to support the view that the IAB are well positioned to manage both processes :)

One of the roles of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) is to 
"provide oversight of the architecture for the protocols and 
procedures used by the Internet".  It is not a good idea, in my 
opinion, to stray too far from that role by, for example, replicating 
the role of the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) or being 
involved in matters which are not under its (RFC) policy authority.

I doubt that it is possible to make "running code" part of the 
working group process unless "running code" is interpreted as 
implementing a specification as software-in-the-lab.

In 2017, the IAB issued a response to FCC-17-89.  It stated that "The 
IETF TRANS working group is nearing completion of work on a revision 
to Certificate Transparency".  The work is still incomplete.

Is setting up a program to tackle a people problem is not a good 
recipe for success?  I suggest giving some thought to that.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

This is a useful point to bring up. I think discussing ways of =

by highlighting in a registry like IANA, would be a valuable tool to =
have across protocols.

The work of maintaining mechanisms here long-term probably doesn=E2=80=99t=
 belong in an IAB program or group, but rather as something that is run =
by the IESG or a WG. This program could certainly recommend such a =
function.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your thoughts. I definitely do see the elephant there=E2=80=94b=
ut I think there is some good work to do that may in time let us better =
address the elephant.

I think our processes around standards can, at times, be stumbling =
blocks to these goals Evolvability, Deployability, and Maintainability. =
That being said, I don=E2=80=99t think they are fundamentally at odds. =
The RFC process we have works well for the pieces of work that need to =
be carefully reviewed, and =E2=80=9Cset in stone=E2=80=9D. Having these =
stable references is good. But, as you point out, that same process and =
same format can be less conducive to the more =E2=80=9Cfluid=E2=80=9D =
work we do, such as applicability statements, surveys of current =
deployments, etc.

I hope that discussions in this area can explore methods to complement =
our RFCs, without requiring an overhaul such as adding RFC-series living =
documents.

For example, we already have choices when we set up IANA registries to =
set a difficult bar (RFC required) or a very easy bar =
(first-come-first-served). That kind of choice has a large impact on how =
a protocol can develop and be used.

I=E2=80=99ve also seen fantastic work being done in some working groups =
to coordinate implementation testing and deployments, but this is ad-hoc =
and not easily found from within IETF tools like datatracker.

It may be that the discussions end up determining we need to update our =
relationship with the RFC process, but I think we can also point to =
successful ways to complement our standards documents with practices and =
resources that make our protocols safer to evolve, easier to evolve, and =
clearer to the community.

Best,
Tommy

Hello S. Moonesamy,

Thanks for expressing your concern. I want to assure you that this =
program is not trying to replicate the role of the IESG or any working =
group, but rather to help coordinate conversations with the IESG, =
working groups, IETF community, and external communities. The specific =
focus of these discussions is to look at how we can achieve the =
architectural goals of an evolvable and maintainable protocol stack.

The problems we are trying to address are indeed architectural: can we =
avoid or mitigate the ossification of protocols? Can we promote the =
reuse and extension of IETF protocols and avoid duplication and =
non-interoperable proprietary solutions?

However, the solution-space involves improving how protocols are =
defined, how their extension points and allocation spaces are defined, =
and how working groups communicate and engage with implementer =
communities.

The proposed program would include IESG members, tools team members, WG =
chairs, implementers, etc. Those would be the bodies that actually enact =
changes. The role of the IAB here is to organize the discussions and =
highlight the impact on architecture.

Here are some references to highlight how this organizational role is =
indeed within the charter and role of the IAB:

=E2=80=9C[The IAB] is also expected to play a role in assuring that
   the people responsible for evolving the Internet and its technology
   are aware of the essential elements of the Internet architecture.=E2=80=
=9D
(https://www.iab.org/about/charter/ =
<https://www.iab.org/about/charter/>)

"The IAB also helps connect different fields of expertise when this is =
needed to understand the full situation affecting the evolution of the =
Internet.=E2=80=9D (https://www.iab.org/about/iab-overview/ =
<https://www.iab.org/about/iab-overview/>)

Best,
Tommy

Well, this is a more generic criticism on my behalf on the structure and IAB processes:
IETF WGs are not mean to work on long term architecture topics. thats for IAB.
IRTF GGs are not mean to work on long term architecture topics. thats for IAB.

Aka: Why are there no architecture groups equalling WG/RGs ? IMHO we clearly see
limits to the current process of IAB programs, and IMHO RG/WGs working better.

All the things you bring up ar goin to be long-term architecture work items,
i just can't see this to work well within IAB programs and it does not belong into
RG/WGs, we need AGs too IMHO

Cheers

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for the response.  I'll comment below.

That may not be the intent of the IAB.  However, that is what will 
happen as you (used in general terms) get in working group details.

Ok.

If you ask about that during a review (unrelated to the proposed 
program) you'll most likely get the "it's the consensus" or some 
other answer which does not explain the how.

The implementers, with some exceptions, do not have much of a say in 
deployment.

Who are the people responsible for evolving the Internet?

Colin, Tommy, Alissa and me wrote some thoughts on COVID-19 impacts, =
Internet evolution, and future challenges. See here:

=
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20200707-evolving-the-internet-through-covid=
-19-and-beyond/

But what do you think? What do you think has fuelled evolution, what do =
you see in store in these processes in the future, and what bigger =
challenges do you think we face in the Internet? Do you see other =
changes that functional aspects, e.g., about the way evolution happens? =
(We=E2=80=99ve seen some movement from standards to open source-based =
interoperability, for instance.)

(We=E2=80=99ve seen some movement from standards to open source-based =

I assume you saw this:   =
http://www.oecd.org/coronavirus/policy-responses/keeping-the-internet-up-a=
nd-running-in-times-of-crisis-4017c4c9/

We had quite a lot of expert input which didn=E2=80=99t make it into the =
report, as well, which I can summarize, if people are interested.

=46rom my point of view, I think the most interesting finding is that =
this is the end of network-to-network (i.e. routed subnet) VPNs for =
home-office situations.  While that was supportable for a few =
executives, it doesn=E2=80=99t work if most of your workforce is WFH.

One of the big positives in the =E2=80=9Cnew normal=E2=80=9D has been =
the democratization of Internet governance meetings=E2=80=A6  My =
colleagues Sara Alamin and Ga=C3=ABl Hernandez have a brief article =
coming out shortly on that topic.  When meetings happen online, =
they=E2=80=99re less dominated by people from countries which issue each =
other travel visas and which have inexpensive and frequent air travel =
between each other.  That=E2=80=99s good news, in a =
more-eyes-on-the-problem sense, and in a =
design-that-works-better-for-everybody-works-better-for-everybody sense.

The main conclusion I=E2=80=99ve been seeing people draw from the Zoom =
situation is that we=E2=80=99ve passed some sort of tipping-point of =
ridiculousness in the everything-as-a-service, in-the-cloud shitshow, =
and that governments, particularly, need to get back to a point where =
they=E2=80=99re capable of standing on their own feet and operating the =
services they need, using code they=E2=80=99re familiar with.  So, good =
news for open-source and open-standards, if people pay attention to =
that.

 to miss the evolution at the societal level, where two big and interconnec=
ted topics have emerged (at least in Europe) in the last 2-3 years:

1) centralization: in practice, much of the Internet is now decentralized t=
echnically but centralized economically and in terms of control into the ha=
nds of a few immense and unaccountable businesses;=20

2) digital sovereignty: how can national governments restore some degree of=
 non-negotiable control over the consequences that the Internet has on thei=
r societies, and fulfill their strategic need for the Internet to continue =
working even in the face of strained international relations.

The last 2-3 decades were an age of globalization, but as the pendulum swin=
gs and many social groups are increasingly unhappy, the next ones could aga=
in be an age of nationalism. If so, the borderless technical nature of the =
Internet could get increasingly strained by the attempts to counter #1 and =
accomplish #2, if it failed to adapt to the new political climate.

Hi

Would my research on localizable sentences be of any interest in=20
relation to this?

It is open source.

Originally intended for human to human communication through the=20
language barrier in some circumstances, it could also be used for human=20
to thing, thing to human, and thing to thing communication.

Dear Jarri, Bill &
architecture-discuss,

(Beside "emergency telecommunication" of which the Internet is to be part
of in relation with "emergency response" to the pandemic Covid-19/Corona
virus I mentioned in this architecture-discuss times ago

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/architecture-discuss/thlgeoDJElb71D1j=
jq4X9hKgyFU/

,) it seems to be a way of evolvability/evolution --a typically
collaborative one and at least a potential one as I imagine with no a
careful reading-- the Internet take: how the Internet of Things inspires
the Web of Things among which there is a concern with agriculture where
there are initiatives on E-Agriculture considering "big data for disaster
resilience" and "working and studying from home" while Research Data
Alliance regarding with agriculture and the current global pandemic
Covid-19/Corona virus.

A thread at the Public-AgriW3C Community Group mailing list "WoT
Collaboration" reflects that mind above:

https://www.w3.org/mid/507fd4a3-896c-0310-b0ba-655513fcc24e@
affrc.go.jp;list=3Dpublic-agri


To summarize, it is about initiatives:

- The Web of Things for The Internet of Things (section Introduction of the
document "WoT Architecture"); & the section 4.1.8. Agriculture
https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/REC-wot-architecture-20200409/#agriculture

- publications on E-Agriculture published by the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU): https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/I
CT-Applications/Pages/e-agriculture.aspx

- (In relation with the current pandemic Covid 19, this may have such a
relevance:)
Case Study 1. "Big Data Ecosystem for Disaster Resilience" in
"E-Agriculture in Action: Big Data for Agriculture" (ed. G. Sylvester, pp.
37-44) https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/ICT-Applications/Documents/Publ
ications/Big%20Data%20for%20Agriculture.pdf

- Research Data Alliance activities on fata engineering: "RDA Covid-19" and
"agrisemantics" readings referring to the RDA also.

https://www.rd-alliance.org/group/rda-covid19-rda-covid19-omics-rda-covid19=
-
epidemiology-rda-covid19-clinical-rda-covid19-0

https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/agrisemantics-wg.html

- (While there is the "Big Data for Disaster Resilience" mentioned above,)
I finded this initiative on agriculture in times of home-based activities
of which there was a relevance of the current pandemic Covid-19: "Working
and Studying from Home? FAO Has A Lot to Share"
http://www.fao.org/publications/highlights-detail/en/c/1269559/

That=E2=80=99s a very interesting topic, probably also worth more =
thought and writing.

Sovereignty is of course also complex, to start with because you on one =

Thanks for this - I had actually not seen that before. Very useful.

One observation that I have heard from many who have been involved in =
practical day-to-day Internet businesses is that while the user =
experience may be relatively smooth, that doesn=E2=80=99t mean that =
nothing needed to be done. A *lot* of work has happened behind the =
scenes, capacity added, issues addressed, things moved, calls made, etc. =
etc.

executives, it doesn=E2=80=99t work if most of your workforce is WFH

Ok.

Yes, that has been very good!

I certainly hope so. (Cautiously optimistic but lets see in few years.)

Anyway, I think this has been a part of a more general realisation in =
the society, e.g., critical supplies and services availability. And it =
applies to companies as well, not just governments. Business continuity.

An interesting counter-factual question is: how would it have worked out =
with a connection-oriented virtual-circuit technology?

The OECD comment about lack of in-country peering rather suggests what th=
e answer would have been.

Hi Tommy,

I think this is a terrific idea. All three areas are certainly worth exp=
loring. Deployability and Maintainability in particular might even make =
sense as topics of their own program, separate from Evolvability.=20

However we cut it, I'd like to see progress in the proposed areas, espec=
ially for the TLS WG. Methods and tooling support to help track ongoing =
implementations of protocol extensions would be valuable for the documen=
ts we publish and many drafts we have in flight. We have [1] and [2], th=
ough they're not well maintained. A common way to track this information=
 for the community would be great.

Best,
Chris

In the IPWAVE WG about vehicular networks (automobiles, trucks, others)
there is relationship to ETSI TC ITS 'Intelligent Transport Systems'.
Some of the ETSI's documents were referred to by several Internet Drafts
in that WG.  A person attending both helped a lot pursuing through the
relationship.

In the 6MAN WG about IPv6 maintenance there are participants to the ETSI
ISG IP6, an Industry Study Group on the topic of IPv6 Integration.

It might be that a unique liaison to ETSI might need to broadly cover
several WGs at IETF, or otherwise be narrower to a particular WG.

But what do you think?

Hi,

Thank you for putting the document together, and for asking.

I think I share the view that operating the Internet did not see
significant disruption during the frontal COVID crisis.  For example,
the announced overload of netflix did not materialize.  But certainly
there might have been other operations that were affected.

An additional reason why it is difficult to say now how COVID affect(ed)
the Internet is because COVID is not over.  It is a wave, now maybe at a
second ripple, which can not be understood in just a few months time.
We are below the water level, we are not surfing on it.  It might last
years, like the other pandemics.  Let us check the status of that impact
periodically.

I would like to add another musing, which I do not intend to
be provocative at all, but I feel it deserves being part of a complete
picture.  The musing is the following: it is universally agreed that the
Internet helped a lot steering through the crisis, and I fully share the
view, having myself experienced the benefits.  However, I will dare to
ask: did the Internet contribute to the creation of this event?  Can
we in all confidence answer by the negative?  As a tool created by
humans, to what extent the existence and use of the Internet contributed
to the factors that are now mentioned as potential sources of this
crisis? (de-forestation, unbalanced population to areas, and less
Nature in general).  Musing on this question does not lead me to be
certain that Internet did only good in this event.

Alex

Because (for reasons I don't understand) I'm involved in AUTH48 processing
for RTCWeb, I find myself wondering whether the proposed IAB program might
include considering ways to avoid C-238-style protocol specification
clusters, whether from the point of view of architectural oversight,
standards process oversight, or RFC Editor oversight.

If you're not aware of C238, check out
https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/C238 for a truly amazing picture of what
we are doing today.

I'm sort of kidding, and sort of not.

Best,

Spencer

&gt; &gt; Deployability: Focus on how we make =E2=80=9Crunning code=E2=80=
=9D something that is better integrated into the working group process. Loo=
k at methods to catalog implementations, tools for tracking interoperabilit=
y testing on different protocol versions, or repositories of which versions=
 of protocols are implemented and used on the Internet. Discuss how deploym=
ents can advertise experiments they are running.<br>
&gt; &gt; Maintainability: Many working groups have expressed a desire to h=
ave <br>
&gt; ways for the community of protocol designers and implementers to keep =
<br>
&gt; track of the current state of affairs in deployment patterns, known <b=

&gt; errata/bugs, or best practices. Help promote consistent ways to host <=

 <br>
&gt; Consider how this community involvement can continue and involve the <=

&gt; The program will:<br>

You got put on that list because you had one or more documents as shepherd,
WG chair of any of the WGs in that cluster or you were an author for any of
the documents in the cluster.    So, you get to see all the documents in
the cluster go through the process (if you so desire).  I'm not sure there
was a way around it, since changes in some of the docs could have trickled
down/up to others. But, perhaps, processing the documents (at the
discretion of WG chairs and ADs)and then doing errata and -bises, if there
impacts, might have been a more efficient way of handling all of this
rather than the usual of  waiting for normative dependencies to get
published.

There were 2 docs I shepherded in this cluster, so I've gotten all these
emails.  You can get removed from that list if it's bothersome.

Regards,
Mary.

At this point, it's just a marvel to see ;-)

Best,

Spencer, who is kind of hoping he's not STILL listed as responsible AD for
any of these documents, but since everyone is seeing everything, I don't
think that really matters! I don't think I'd qualify under any other
criteria ... not a WG chair, not a doc shepherd, not an author ...

Yes. I don't see C238 as disjoint from the problem I already raised:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/architecture-discuss/A0ZP4w-UhX7Cu5=
E8gSPK1haSDWI/
In fact I even mentioned RTCWEB there.

Unsurprisingly, I think that if we don't tackle this problem, technical e=
fforts on Evolvability, Deployability , & Maintainability will be futile.=

I think we all agree that we don't ever want to see another document
cluster as large or as long-lived as C238.

But I would rather not attempt to invent processes to try and guess
how best to prevent hypothetical superclusters. I'd rather that the
RPC and I (or a future RSE) work informally with ADs and WG chairs
when we see a potentially large cluster forming, or worse when a
document is about to link two normal sized clusters into a big one.

That would be wise, but by the time anybody notices, it may be too
late. I do agree that the answer is not to add more process. The 
question on the table, I think, is what factors lead to the formation
of such a cluster, and what design issues should be considered to avoid
it? (Plus the old newtrk question: how can we document clusters of
documents usefully for implementers and operators?)

The RPC certainly knows how big the clusters are.  I've asked them to tell 
me if they notice any getting large.

Nothing exotic, it's a bunch of drafts with interlinked cross-references. 
If I saw that happening, I'd try and do a topological sort and see if some 
of them can get un-linked, or at least if the linked ones can progress 
together.  The reason C238 gpt so big is that there were drafts in the 
queue that had references to other drafts that weren't done until two 
years later.

Obviously we could invent a new RFC publication status like "conditional",
so anything with unresolved normative references gets first published
as a conditional RFC having a new normative section of conditional
normative dependencies, pointing to the draft versions.

As soon as ALL the required normative references exist as RFCs too,
they are all updated in status from conditional to whatever their 
ultimate target status was.

Cheers

If we're going to republish RFCs I would rather address the general 
versioning question rather than just this special case.  But for this 
special case, I still think a better route is to push WGs to deal with 
drafts in an order that doesn't produce huge clusters.

Some of the drafts in C238 were so old that I worry that the world may 
have changed while the drafts snoozed.

I have not looked at C238 but I do know of a draft I worked on that is awai=
ting progress on a Normative Reference which will fail because the world ha=
s changed.  This is a cross-WG issue where one WG sets out to provide somet=
hing useful, others use it and then the something really useful changes in =
nature and becomes unusable.=0A=
=0A=
This could happen with YANG common types modules.  Some WG have recognised =
that types needs several iterations to get right and so have held the types=
 back until at least one using module is ready to advance with it which the=
n reduces the risk.  Others just duplicate the definitions they want which =
can cause other issues.=0A=

Stephen and Tommy,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get to this, but, at least from
my perspective, your question (if I understand it correctly) has
some interesting answers.  These are my opinions only but it may
be worth noting that, although I helped with RFC 1123 and was
involved in other ways much earlier, I was dragged into the IETF
precisely to work on email protocols.

Once upon a time, it was a maxim of ARPANET and Internet
protocol design that things were to be kept simple, with a
minimum of options, alternate ways to do the same thing, and so
on.  Part of that was (or became) a deliberate contrast with a
well-known reference model and protocol suite that were so full
of options and variations that almost no one could implement
them and it was impossible to tell whether failure to
interoperate was a bug or the result of, e.g., difference
choices of options or profiles.  The designers of Internet email
had the added advantage of
experience with email systems that served users on a single host
and some that served a set of related hosts running the same
operating system software even before the mail command was
introduced into FTP. Even the envelope-header split came rather
last in the game.  The implication of that was that, by the time
RFCs 821 and 822 came along and the former was followed by RFc
974, they were based on years significant implementation,
deployment, and user experience, including experience with
gateways, _and_, by today's standards, they were still rather
simple protocols.  

The changes of the early 1990s were necessitated by new
requirements -- for multilingual and multimedia mail and for the
ability to do a number of things that the original protocols did
not facilitate doing in an interoperable way.. and to do so in a
way that would not break the existing widely-deployed
infrastructure.  Even then we made what may have been design
errors (or not).  For example, in allowing extensions we failed
to distinguish clearly between "I, the server, am offering these
extensions" and "I the server will not accept your mail unless
you support these extensions" and, in MIME, we specified a
header field of "MIME-version: 1.0" without any non-destructive
plan about what a different number might mean.  The next two
iterations were just consolidation of multiple specifications
and clarifications.  And the work now being contemplated (see
the "emailcore" BOF on the IETF 108 agenda) is intended to be
limited to clarifications and fixing errors and we just haven't
felt pressure to do it much earlier.  IMAP, for example, is
different -- more options, more commands, and more working
groups adding yet more options.

Now, contrast that situation with, e.g., SIP, HTTP/HTTPS, or
RTCweb and, well, it is an interesting contrast.

I hope everyone participating in this discussion has read Fred
Brooks on second system effects and perhaps thought a bit about
what it means to patterns of standards development.

Maybe use the cluster problem case as a test balloon for generic versioning,
aka: Lets not create a meta clustet, where the initial benefit of solving
the cluster problem has to wait for the last open question on versioning
to be resolved first.

I think everybody will tell you that this is not possible in general
than how we deal with it this today. You can not simply re-assign
authors to first help finishing other documents. We are a community
of arbitrary specialization.

Sure, but if this document would not have been pat of a cluster but
been published years ago as standard RFC it could be equally obsolete
now technically. Aka: do not raise requirements of usefulness against
cluster members over those RFCs that are not cluster members.

Heck, i am still trying to find time to go through all the IETF
process to downgrade 1989 IGMPv1 protocol from full standard to eg
historic and upgrade 2002 IGMPv3 to full standard. Aka: if you
wanted to bring in more applicability requirements against clusters
you just worsen the problem.

This is a cross-WG issue where one WG sets out to provide something useful, others use it and then the something really useful changes in nature and becomes unusable.

Some WG have recognised that types needs several iterations to get right and so have held the types back until at least one using module is ready to advance with it which then reduces the risk.  Others just duplicate the definitions they want which can cause other issues.

Dear IAB,

Q1: Community discussion with IAB about their workshop/programs

Could the IAB please present a short statement about how the IAB decides
what workshops to run and when to start a new program? Would the IAB be                                
open to receiving suggestions from the community, and how would those
suggestions be handled?

Q2: IAB and evolving IP

IETF chair has declared in liaison 1677, that "IETF maintains copyright
and change control for the IP specifications" and "extensions or modifications
to IETF technologies must be discussed with the IETF before any are worked
on in other SDOs". In addition, IAB is chartered with external liaison and
architectural oversight. With this role, i would respectfully like to ask
IAB about he following issue:

There is interest from contributors working inside IETF as well as
outside researchers and SDO such as ITU-T to investigate options for
future IP/network layer packet/protocol evolution withing but also beyond
those options that could naturally evolve from the considerations of RFC4775.

This could be seen as similar to what was done 30 years ago in IP-NG through
e.g.g: TUBA, TP/IX, CATNIP, IPAE, SIP, PIP and so on. Except that the
requirements for such investigations are different from those in 1990th
(IPv4 address space exhaustion). For example the networks to which the
desired benefits might most apply would not necessarily have to be primarily
the Internet.

What is in the opinion of IAB the right place to do this work in the community,
e.g., IAB workshop/program, IETF experimental WG, some other new org form ?
How does IAB think it should be involved in such an effort ?

Note: IRTF chair has already stated that he considers architecture investigation
into generic network header encoding options as a pure engineering and therefore
non-research topic and thinks it is unsuitable for an IRTF RG.
I disagree, but that was his statement he made to me.

Lastly: Where can i find the definition as to what packet protocol
formats would or would not fall into the IETF chairs "IETF ... copyright
and change control for the IP specifications" ?  E.g.: would any newly
designed protocol be subject to IETF copyright claims if it can be
made interoperable in some fashion with IPv4 or IPv6 ? Or is it just
the naming aspect of "InternetworkProtocol" ? I do not understand
the assessment criteria. 

This question is quite important because without such definition,
it is impossible to determine which proposed protocols Alissas liaison 1677
ask against other SDO applies to.

Thank you very much
    Toerless Eckert

Hi All,
We will have the APN side meeting at 12:30 - 14:00 UTC on July 30 (Thursday=
). The agenda and the WebEx information is provided in the following link.=
=20
https://github.com/APN-Community/IETF108-Side-Meeting-APN

There has been several similar work like APN such as SPUD and PLUS. Recentl=
y Network Token work was also proposed. The side meeting is to try to clari=
fy the scope of APN comparing with other work. The possible usecases are al=
so proposed for the APN work. Another goal of the side meeting is to clarif=
y the security and privacy issues which are always proposed against such ap=
plication-ware networking work. In RTGWG session held yesterday, the presen=
tation of APN work discussed the possible scenarios related with the securi=
ty and privacy issues. The following slides is for your reference:
https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/108/slides/slides-108-rtgwg-8-rtgwg-apn6-0=
1

Since it is a complex cross-area work and there is much background informat=
ion, wish you could join the side meeting if you have interest in the work =
and your comments and suggestions are appreciated.=20


Best Regards,
Daniel & Zhenbin (Robin)=

More information on IAB programs can be found on the IAB webpage: =
https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/

As noted there, programs serve to support the IAB in their chartered =
responsibilities. As such, programs as well as workshops are usually =
created/hold based on discussion within the IAB. In past discussions we =
have evaluated each program based on its merits, scope, energy levels =
within the IAB and the community, and its likelihood of success. As I =
also briefly mentioned in the IAB open meeting today, we in the IAB are =
currently also discussing our own practices and procedures to establish =
and work with and in those programs, and how best such programs can =
engage with the IETF community. As such an update to the noted IAB page =
is likely to come up at some future point.

The IAB is always interested in community input on technical work the =
IAB is currently doing as well as technical discussion on larger =
architectural issues. Especially for the later the =
architecture-discuss@iab.org list is the right place, not only for =
community discussion but also to reach the IAB as IAB members are =
participating on that list. Of course you can also always reach the IAB =
directly, as you just did using iab@iab.org

When we receive input from the community that requires further =
discussion, we may do that in our business calls. Our calls (except the =
executive sessions of course) are open for observers and the agenda is =
published in advance on the IAB wiki.

The IAB used to have a program on IP Stack Evolution which was just =
closed last year. Before that there was a program on IP Evolution. For =
both concluded programs you can find further information about the scope =
as well as published documents or other actives the program members were =
involved with on the IAB webpage:
=
https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/concluded-programs/ip-stack-evolut=
ion-program/
https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/concluded-programs/ip-evolution/

These programs were concluded as the intermediate goals of these =
programs were reached. As also announced in the IAB open meeting =
yesterday, the IAB is considering a to some extend follow-up new program =
on Evolvability, Deployability, and Maintainability (EDM). For further =
discussion on these aspects an new mailing list has been created: =
edm@iab.org

=46rom your description above the scope of the work you are interested =
in seems rather broad. More generally speaking, the IAB aims to =
stimulate discussion around architectural issues in the Internet that =
are not always broadly recognised by the wider community, or that either =
require more coordinations between areas or are not covered by active =
work in the IETF. However, for questions related to a certain protocol =
or groups of protocols where one or more IETF working groups already =
exists, I recommend you that discussion should take place there to reach =
out to the relevant part if the IETF community directly.

I believe this is a question for the IETF Chair to ask.=20
