Routing Policy System Working Group

Seems good to me. We clearly need to get RIPE181 out as an info RFC as
agreed to set some context for this group. I was sort of waiting on
Daniel to get his part done but will try to do this this week and get
this off to the rfc-editor.

  * Hi,

  * Here is the charter for the rps wg. There will be a BOF in
  * Danvers. Hope to see you all there.

  * (310) 822-1511            University of Southern California
  * 
  * Charter:
  * 
  * The Routing Policy System Working Group
  * will
  * (1) define a language,
  * referred to as Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL),
  * for specifying routing policy constraints;
  * (2) define a distributed database model
  * for registering routing policy constraints;
  * and (3) define a set of tools
  * for analysing registered policy constraints for global consistency,
  * for generating router configurations,
  * and for diagnosing operational routing problems.
  * It is expected that RPSL will enter the standards track.
  * 
  * The RPSL will be routing protocol independent
  * as well as
  * router configuration format independent
  * to support various routing protocols such as BGP, IDRP, SDRP,
  * and various router technologies.
  * The RPSL will be backward compatible with RIPE-181 whenever possible;
  * the database model will be based on the RIPE database;
  * and RIPE pride tools will be upgraded to support RPSL
  * as an initial set of tools.
  * 
  * The working group will also instigate, review, or (if appropriate)
  * produce additional RFCs 
  * to support other protocols such as multicasting and resource reservation.
  * 
  * Goals and Milestones:
  * 
  *  Apr 95: BOF to discuss scope of work and WG creation
  * 
  *  May 95: Publish initial draft specification of RPSL
  *       
  *  Jun 95: Publish draft specification of tools and the database model
  * 
  *  Jul 95: First WG meeting
  * 
  *  Aug 95: Publish second draft specifications
  *          Begin collecting implementation experience for Standards track RFC
  * s
  * 
  *  Dec 95: Second WG meeting
  *          Publish RPSL and Experiences RFC
  * 
  *  Jan 96: Submit RFCs for proposed standard
  *
