Hi,

I have chosen this week to try to get caught up on some IETF review work,
including following up on huge documents that I previously reviewed, which
due to their size I have not had time to re-review.

In my last review of the policy mib document series, I identified 103 items
I felt needed addressing. I have gone over those 103 items to see if they
had been addressed in the -10- revision. I find that 75 of the 103 items
were not addressed.  

The bulk of the 28 that were addressed were spelling and grammar
corrections, with some rewordings for clarity.

24 of the items not addressed were merely suggested rewordings that weren't
terribly important to resolve, or they were questions about the language and
expression evaluation. I'll igonore those items, even though I still feel
the language is a weak spot in this proposal.

51 of the items not addressed dealt with document clarity that could impact
interoperability. Many of the still unresolved 51 items were concerns that a
management application could not rely on multiple implementations to provide
consistent support of a feature. Some were requests for examples to help
make the intent clearer to help implementors not do it wrong. Some were
requests for re-ordering the document to help eliminate some of the need for
so many forward references. 

When will the remaining issues that were raised be addressed?

Thanks,
dbh
