3. Charter – WG Ground-Rules
The charter is relatively narrow
G/MPLS traffic engineering
Simple configurations (e.g start by Inter-area TE)
The milestones are our main (only) focus
The timeline is very aggressive
We are already behind schedule ;-)
What about my favorite application for PCE?
Chances are, it’s out of scope for the moment
What should I do?
Don’t despair!
Help deliver the current milestones
Build a solid foundation for PCE
Can I work on my special application of PCE?
Yes, this is fine
Don’t expect your work to become a WG draft at this point
Do discuss your draft on the PCE mail list
Do continue to work on the base drafts
