Shepherd writeup
draft-ietf-idr-cpr

## Document History
1. Does the working group (WG) consensus represent the strong concurrence of a
   few individuals, with others being silent, or did it reach broad agreement?

Status: no contention, Strong support from WG participants working on SRv6
Content: CPR was discussed in the context of the CAR/CT work,
        CAR and CT work both considered the SRv6 and CPR discussion

Technical part of WG LC discussion to review:

github issue: https://github.com/ietf-wg-idr/draft-ietf-idr-cpr/issues

Part of discussion covered:
1. In the past, Color usually belongs to private prefixes, not the locators.
 However, SR Policy and Flex-Algo mechanism use color on per hop routing.
2. Forwarding process uses insertion not encapsulation. (pull text here)
3. EPE Traffic engineering versus CPR per hop routing (intent based)

See shepherd's report in linked draft:

2. Was there controversy about particular points, or were there decisions where
   the consensus was particularly rough?

Since this is the last document in IDR's Intent based work (CAR, CT, CPR), the
WG LC discussion had low controversy and mild participation.
The debates regarding this technology were held as part of the 3 year work on
Intent base work.

3. Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If
   so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
   responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
   questionnaire is publicly available.)

No appeals.

4. For protocol documents, are there existing implementations of the contents of
   the document? Have a significant number of potential implementers indicated
   plans to implement? Are any existing implementations reported somewhere,
   either in the document itself (as [RFC 7942][3] recommends) or elsewhere
   (where)?

  This informational draft does not specify additional protocol changes, but
  provides a description of an applied use of existing protocols.
  These protocols were applied in 3+ existing networks.

  The security review points out security concerns with these issues.
  The authors feel the security considerations section provides enough warnings
  about these issues. [Note: I have not received a confirmation from the early
  review,
   but after 3 weeks of no-response from reviewer - I am submitting this to the
   IESG.]

5. Do the contents of this document closely interact with technologies in other
   IETF working groups or external organizations, and would it therefore benefit
   from their review? Have those reviews occurred? If yes, describe which
   reviews took place.

   Spring review.
   https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/idr/iFwzRGWi4UYznXpcQ_XvyRr9NUg/

   Early Review by RTG-DIR, OPS-DIR and SEC-DIR (see links above)

6. Describe how the document meets any required formal expert review criteria,
   such as the MIB Doctor, YANG Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.

   No formal review

7. If the document contains a YANG module, has the final version of the module
   been checked with any of the [recommended validation tools][4] for syntax and
   formatting validation? If there are any resulting errors or warnings, what is
   the justification for not fixing them at this time? Does the YANG module
   comply with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as specified
   in [RFC 8342][5]?

   No Yang.

8. Describe reviews and automated checks performed to validate sections of the
   final version of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code,
   BNF rules, MIB definitions, CBOR's CDDL, etc.

   No Formal review

## Document Shepherd Checks

9. Based on the shepherd's review of the document, is it their opinion that this
   document is needed, clearly written, complete, correctly designed, and ready
   to be handed off to the responsible Area Director?

   Yes. This shepherd's review is bi-product of the CAR/CT discussion that
   occurred over 5 years.

10. Several IETF Areas have assembled [lists of common issues that their
    reviewers encounter][6]. For which areas have such issues been identified
    and addressed? For which does this still need to happen in subsequent
    reviews?

    OPS-DIR, RTG-DIR, and SEC-DIR
    Note: SEC-DIR reviewer did not respond to email asking to check -04 for 1
    month. Submitting this to the IESG.  This shepherd will also try to discuss
    this at IETF-120 with other security experts.

11. What type of RFC publication is being requested on the IETF stream ([Best
    Current Practice][12], [Proposed Standard, Internet Standard][13],
    [Informational, Experimental or Historic][14])? Why is this the proper type
    of RFC? Do all Datatracker state attributes correctly reflect this intent?

    Informational. Yes. This document does not specify any protocol additions
    to BGP. This documents describes use of existing features to solve the
    intent/color-aware problem. Therefore, the status of Informational is
    correct.

12. Have reasonable efforts been made to remind all authors of the intellectual
    property rights (IPR) disclosure obligations described in [BCP 79][7]? To
    the best of your knowledge, have all required disclosures been filed? If
    not, explain why. If yes, summarize any relevant discussion, including links
    to publicly-available messages when applicable.

See links below.

13. Has each author, editor, and contributor shown their willingness to be
    listed as such? If the total number of authors and editors on the front page
    is greater than five, please provide a justification.

14. Document any remaining I-D nits in this document. Simply running the [idnits
    tool][8] is not enough; please review the ["Content Guidelines" on
    authors.ietf.org][15]. (Also note that the current idnits tool generates
    some incorrect warnings; a rewrite is underway.)
    No NITs.

15. Should any informative references be normative or vice-versa? See the [IESG
    Statement on Normative and Informative References][16].
    All references are in the correct category.

16. List any normative references that are not freely available to anyone. Did
    the community have sufficient access to review any such normative
    references?

    All Normative references are RFCs.

17. Are there any normative downward references (see [RFC 3967][9] and [BCP
    97][10]) that are not already listed in the [DOWNREF registry][17]? If so,
    list them.
    No downward references.

18. Are there normative references to documents that are not ready to be
    submitted to the IESG for publication or are otherwise in an unclear state?
    If so, what is the plan for their completion?

    All normative references are RFCs.

19. Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? If
    so, does the Datatracker metadata correctly reflect this and are those RFCs
    listed on the title page, in the abstract, and discussed in the
    introduction? If not, explain why and point to the part of the document
    where the relationship of this document to these other RFCs is discussed.

    No.

20. Describe the document shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section,
    especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document.
    Confirm that all aspects of the document requiring IANA assignments are
    associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm
    that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm
    that each newly created IANA registry specifies its initial contents,
    allocations procedures, and a reasonable name (see [RFC 8126][11]).

   This informational RFC makes no request of the IANA registry.

21. List any new IANA registries that require Designated Expert Review for
    future allocations. Are the instructions to the Designated Expert clear?
    Please include suggestions of designated experts, if appropriate.

    This informational RFC makes no request of the IANA registry.
