1. Summary
The document shepherd is Börje Ohlman. The IRTF Chair is Colin Perkins.
This document provides an overview of the terminology and definitions for
Information Centric Networking (ICN) in particular for the closely related ICN
approaches Named Data Networking (NDN) and Content-Centric Networking (CCN).
The research group is quite sure that this will be a useful reference for
future work in the RG as and Informational RFC.
2. Review and Consensus
The document has passed RG LC. It was put to IRSG review. Some comments were
received, available on the ICNRG mailing list. These has been addressed in the
-05 version of the draft. The updates are summarized as follows:
"This posting is a revision of the ICN Terminology draft with changes resulting
from the IRSG review. Attached please find the comments by Marie-Jose Montpetit
(the IRSG Reviewer) and responses noting the associated changes. In addition to
the specific comment responses, a bit of text was added to improve the document
in preparation for final IRTF poll. These are: expanded text to fill our two
use cases that had eclipses rather than actual fleshed out information. an
acknowledgements section was added This document represents the consensus of
the Information-Centric Networking Research Group (ICNRG). It has been
reviewed extensively by the Research Group (RG) members active in the specific
areas of work covered by the document. It is not an IETF product and is not
intended for standardization in the IETF."
Details of the updates are available on the ICNRG mailing list.
That the RG last call still stands has been confirmed on the ICNRG mailing list.
The comments on the -05 draft that was raised during the final IRSG poll has
now been addressed in the -06 version. The RG has been consulted, via the
mailing list, and it has thus been determined that a new RG LC was not
necessary and no objections to the changes has been made. The commenter has
also declared that he is happy with the updated draft.
A number of additional comments wherer received during IRSG last poll. They
have been addressed in the -07 version as the proposed changes have been posted
on the mailing list and no comments were recieved I, as document shepherd,
think the document can proceed to IESG review. I will thus pass it on to the
IRTF chair to initiate that process.
