Hi Ron,
Right - cart before the horse - I'll look forward
to your comments and will *not* try to turn a new
draft in the few remaining days before the I-D
deadline.
Cheers,
- Ira

Ira,
I agree with trying to do more via email. Right now the
IPP telecons are eating into too much of my time, so
I would prefer to try email. Maybe telecons after the
Toyko meeting, in place of some of the normal IPP
calls.
I really don't see any point in trying to get a new draft
to the IETF. If you can, fine, but I would not recommend
this be our "primary goal".
I should have my promised comments before the end
of the week and these may have more impact on the
draft and generate more discussion.
Ron
