Hi all,

Yesterday we had uniform consensus in the room to adopt draft-cheng-tcpm-rack-01 as a new TCPM working group item. As a remark, the support was the strongest I have recently seen in TCPM. 

Therefore I'd like to confirm on the list that it is working group consensus to add a new milestone to the TCPM charter

  Submit document on a time-based fast loss detection algorithm for TCP (RACK) to the IESG for publication as an Experimental RFC

and to use draft-cheng-tcpm-rack-01 as a starting point.

Two additional notes:

- It has been mentioned that further experimentation is needed e.g. regarding the parameters and therefore the suggested status is Experimental

- It has been proposed to also document TLP in this document as it is timer-based mechanism as well

If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know in the next two weeks.

Thanks

Michael
