Re: New ROHC Milesstones.

Magnus, others,

Magnus, thanks for joining the discussion. I agree with Magnus on all
accounts.

Even if it seems like we will be closing down soon, I want the group to
focus on the last call of drafts draft-ietf-rohc-rfc4995bis-01.txt

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rohc-rfc4995bis-01

Please send in your comments.

Thanks,

/Calle
