Re: [bmwg] Call for adoption: draft-balarajah-bmwg-ngfw-performance

["MORTON, ALFRED C (AL)" <[e-mail]>]

Thanks for the clarification on RFC3511, Brian,
and sharing your view on the review process.

Although requesting early review is an exception,
this would take place after adoption and before
WG consensus, so it should not lengthen the process
unnecessarily. We would receive reviews from these
Directorate teams anyway, during IETF Last Call, and 
this may be more efficient (ideally).

It also occurs to me that we had some interest from the
opsec WG - I will cross-post the call for adoption there.
