mailing list. The open issues were addressed and there are no open issues,
there was consensus on the content of the document.

Document Quality:
Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number
of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any
reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g.,
one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no
substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert
review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on
what date was the request posted? The document clarifies some text in RFC5761
based also on implementation experience. Personnel: Who is the Document
Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director? Roni Even is the Document
Shepherd. The responsible AD is Ben Campbell. (3) Briefly describe the review

(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has
with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be
aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of
