I am not requesting publication at the current time.  I am requesting a review.

The comments received in January do not constitute a review.  The reviewer
only discussed Sections 1 and 2 (Introduction and Conceptual Overview),
and then spent the rest of her review claiming that we do not deal with
management.  I suspect that she may not even have read the technical parts
of rfc6126bis.

I have sent a lengthy reply about management on 7 January, and requested
a full review (in a separate mail).  It has been over two months now, and
I have received no reply from her.

I am not requesting publication at the current time.  I am requesting
a full review of the document, including the technical parts.  It's up to
the IESG, of course, but I am of the conviction that this can only be
achieved by choosing a different reviewer.
