Please note that we await a reply to this question below:

> b) Should the update below be implemented?
> 
> Appendix B.6: 
> Two additional instances of “...:Devices” (plural) appear in this section. Should these instances be updated to “:Device” (singular) as well?

We will request that IANA make their relevant changes after we receive all other approvals listed on the AUTH48 status page.

All best,
