>(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard,
>Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)?

Proposed Standard.

>Why is this the proper type of RFC?

It asks for the re-assignment of well-known ports for the OWAMP and TWAMP
protocols.

>Is this type of RFC indicated in the
>title page header?

Yes.

>(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement
>Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent
>examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved

>
>Technical Summary

It explains the motivation and describes the re-assignment of
well-known ports for the OWAMP and TWAMP protocols for control and
measurement, and clarifies the meaning and composition of these
standards track protocol names for the industry..

There was reasonable discussions in the mailing list based on the search of the
draft title. A couple of people supported the adoption of this document. There
was no objection in the mailing list when the WG chair raised the LC.

This is a simple idea. I did not see implementation on this.

Tianran Zhou

Mirja Kühlewind will normally serve as Responsible AD.

>(3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by
>the Document Shepherd.  If this version of the document is not ready
>for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to
>the IESG.

I had some commnets on the 01 version and sent to the mailing list. They were
kindly solved. Based on the 03 version, I think it's ready for publication.

>(4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or
>breadth of the reviews that have been performed?

No

>(5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from
>broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS,
>DHCP, XML, or internationalization? If so, describe the review that
>took place.

Nothing beyond the normal checks.

>(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd
>has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the
>IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable
>with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really
>is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and
>has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those
>concerns here.

None.

>(7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR
>disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78
>and BCP 79 have already been filed. If not, explain why.

Yes.

>(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document?
>If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR
>disclosures.

No.

>(9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it
>represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others
>being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it?

Yes. There was reasonable discussions related to this draft. This idea is
simple, so easy for people to get consensus. The process is smoth.

>(10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
>discontent? If so, please summarise 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.

>(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this
>document. (See https://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts
>Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be
>thorough.

There are some ID nits exist in the 03 version.
"Summary: 1 error (**), 0 flaws (~~), 1 warning (==), 4 comments (--)."

But some of them are not acurate  by the tool.

  -- The abstract seems to indicate that this document updates RFC5357, but
     the header doesn't have an 'Updates:' line to match this.
 no this problem.

  == Missing Reference: 'RFCXXXX' is mentioned on line 292, but not defined
no this problem.

 -- Duplicate reference: RFC5357, mentioned in 'TimDISCUSS', was also
     mentioned in 'RFC5357'.
These are different references. One is the RFC, the other is the discussion
history.

>(12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review
>criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.

N/A.

>(13) Have all references within this document been identified as
>either normative or informative?

Yes.

>(14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for
>advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative
>references exist, what is the plan for their completion?

No. All normative references are RFCs.

>(15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)?
>If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in
>the Last Call procedure.

Yes, the normative reference to RFC7594 is a downref due to being informational.

>(16) Will publication of this document change the status of any
>existing RFCs? Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed
>in the abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not
>listed in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to the
>part of the document where the relationship of this document to the
>other RFCs is discussed. If this information is not in the document,
>explain why the WG considers it unnecessary.

It will update RFC4656 and 5357 if approved.

>(17) 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 protocol extensions that the document makes
>are associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries.
>Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly
>identified. Confirm that newly created IANA registries include a
>detailed specification of the initial contents for the registry, that
>allocations procedures for future registrations are defined, and a
>reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC 5226).
