Summary

The RAW working group meeting covered document status updates, presentations on use cases, mobility, and OAM, and a discussion about the future of the architecture draft and the working group itself. Rick and Eve announced their intention to transition out of their chair positions, with a plan to potentially merge the RAW group back into the DETNET working group. The meeting concluded with decisions on document progression and next steps for the working group's future.

Key Discussion Points

Document Status: The L-Strap has been published as an RFC. The Use Cases draft is awaiting IESG review. The Technologies draft awaits shepherd write-up. The Architecture draft remains a key point of discussion.
Mobility Draft: Initial feedback suggests interest in the mobility problem, independent of specific solutions. Applicability across multiple lower layers (e.g., WiFi in addition to 5G) was seen as a valuable aspect.
OAM Draft: The OAM draft is considered stable and ready for working group last call, pending discussion on architectural dependencies.
WG Chairs Transition: Rick and Eve are transitioning out of their roles as WG chairs. A potential merger with DETNET is being considered.
Architecture Draft: A joint working group last call with DETNET was proposed to gain broader review and consensus.
Industrial Requirements Draft: Additional co-authors may be sought to help progress the expired Industrial Requirements draft.

Decisions and Action Items

Use Cases Draft: Await IESG review and publication.
OAM Draft: Proceed to working group last call.
Architecture Draft: Conduct a joint working group last call with DETNET. Eve volunteered to be a shepherd for the joint last call
Industrial Requirements Draft: Reach out to the original authors and solicit additional co-authors to help progress the draft. Carlos volunteered to help.
Technologies Draft: Carlos to provide a write-up as shepherd.
