RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ltans-reqs-03.txt

["Carl Wallace" <cwallace@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Denis,

Clearly more than "none of the comments" were addressed.  As noted when the
draft was posted, this version aimed to address all editorial comments and
many of the non-editorial comments.  There are several bracketed comments
included in the new version that highlight particular areas for discussion.
Several of these are related directly to your comments.   Additionally, a
set of email responses were sent on 10/5 (along with several other responses
with questions regarding some of the suggestions).  A large amount of your
comments were focused on mechanisms.  I was not prepared to shift the focus
of the requirements document in that direction prior to the deadline for
publication.  None of your comments are off the table.

Carl
