5. OPS Area Working Group? Goal – improved efficiency in the OPS Area –Reduce the number of AD-sponsored documents –Give a chance for new ideas to materialize faster Framework for Operations and Management documents that do not find a home in WGs –Continuation of work in completed WGs –Documents that are important enough to work on but less than a critical mass for a separate WG Model used in other IETF areas (routing, transport) –From the TSVWG charter The Transport Area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with transport topics that are not in scope of an existing working group or do not justify the formation of a new working group. TSVWG will serve as the forum for developing such work items in the IETF. The TSVWG mailing list is an open discussion forum for such work items, when they arise. The working group meets if there are active proposals that require discussion. The working group milestones are updated as needed to reflect the current work items and their associated milestones. Will happen only if there is community support and particpation
