Hi Fred,

Thanks for your presentation in the 125 meeting, I am interested in this
draft, and did not complete my reply comment on this draft, but I think
this draft is facing an important issue that the old participants in this
WG did not write drafts on, and if I am wrong please refer me with some old
drafts.

I think it is important that we get feedback from old participants if they
discussed these issues or not.

thanking you,

AB
