Subject: [tsvwg] L4S WGLC: Update from WG chairs

The Working Group (WG) chairs are working through the comments and concerns raised in Working Group Last Call (WGLC) of the L4S drafts.  Two overall conclusions are that a) the WGLC has been productive, and shows significant continuing support for L4S, and b) the L4S drafts should be revised to address the WGLC concerns raised.   The WG chairs strongly suggest that the revisions include limiting the scope and impact of initial L4S experiments on RFC 3168 functionality (both existing usage and potential deployment) to ensure that the L4S experiments are safe to perform on the Internet, paying particular attention to potential impacts on networks and users that are not participating in the L4S experiments.

Additional areas of concern will be addressed in additional messages.  There will be at least one interim meeting on L4S (and likely more than one), as the constraints on WG meeting time during virtual IETF meeting weeks prevent making significant progress during those weeks.

Thanks, --David, Wes and Gorry
