Thanks very much.  Let me also urge again team members to look at that
document, especially section 7.  Feedback can be sent to the IETF
apps-discuss at ietf.org WG mailing list.  You need to be a member of the
list to post; but if you don't want to join, feel free to send your
notes to me, with an explicit request to forward them to the relevant
IETF list as part of the last call, and I'll forward your remarks.

For those not familiar with the IETF, note that in the IETF, people
normally post as themselves and not as a representative of any
constituency, organization, or company.  In addition, even quite
informal remarks are welcome.  But comments that are received after
publication are impossible to address: a "quick fix" to an RFC, once
published, is mostly impossible except for errata.  The RFC series is
archival, and so once something is published a new RFC needs to be
written to take its place (if an update is needed).  So get those
comments in soon, if they're coming. 

The last call for this draft ends 2011-06-30.
