Re: [Bier] FW: I-D Action: draft-kumar-bier-use-cases-01.txt

(Greg - I am not sure if i eventually got allowed to post this - i cant see

asking me to confirm, which i did..

Perhaps I have to post again: so please see comment below (assuming this
makes it) else can you guys perhaps forward my input to the list?
