This document outlines the MPLS-TP process draft, highlighting the need for familiarizing MPLS-TP stakeholders with IETF processes. It emphasizes cooperation between IETF and ITU-T as stipulated in the JWT report, ensuring mutual review of work. Key points include adapting the IETF processes to involve ITU-T participants, defining liaison points, and clarifying the relationship between IETF and ITU-T documentation. The draft aims to maintain an updated document, facilitate referencing of Informational RFCs, and ultimately publish it as a Historic RFC.

Why write a Process draft? • Many people involved in MPLS-TP are not familiar with IETF processes • This is a cooperation project • As agreed in the JWT report • ITU-T must review IETF work • IETF must review ITU-T work • Need to understand how that works • Need a common understanding of expectations
What does it say? • No change to normal IETF processes • “Adaptation” to show how ITU-T participants are involved • Points in the process where liaisons will be sent • Points at which liaison responses are required • Simple explanation of normal IETF process and mailing lists
What are the plans? • Include boilerplate text • Clarify the cooperative source of documents • Ensure that Informational RFCs can be referenced • Currently visible at http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/misc/mpls-tp/ • Keep document up-to-date • Finally publish as Historic RFC? • How does the IEFT contribute to ITU-T Recommendations? • Separate draft being written (Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel) • Based on material from ITU-T • Liaison received in May • Discussions face-to-face in Geneva in October • MPLS-TP Steering Group • Continued monitoring of cooperation process by IETF and ITU-T management
