    Dear all,

    Yves, you stated in Pittsbourgh, that you want to go for a BOF. You
    already asked for it?
    If no we should start discussing, what the purpose/goal of the WG is.
    With SLS document, which is I think very premature, it is not clear for
    me what the target standard should be in the area of SLS and its
    negotiation.

    Some comments to Werner's

    Would it be a good idea to model the SLS using CIM (as in the Policy
    Framework, where the draft actually was very well placed by Bert W.)

    I don't think that they are too difficult, but on an other level of
    abstraction. (part of domain name? Some specific countries, regions etc.

    A set of DSCPs is definitly needed.

    I have problems with the exclusive OR for src & dest addresses.

    I think there should be a requirements draft for the negotiation anyway.
