All,

I have submitted a draft to attempt to start the process of resolving the pre-emption
debate.

The procedures are intended to be equally applicable to GMPLS.

It would be well for people to indicate their support, disapproval, or (equally valuable
to the assessment of the value of the draft) their apathy.
Comments should be made on the MPLS mailing list, not in CCAMP.

Thanks,
Adrian
