RE: Draft minutes from Seoul: Need enhancements

["Vishal Sharma" <[e-mail]>]

Just want to let you know that there are gaps in 
the minutes, with respect to the comments I made on 
various other drafts, and what was said in response to queries 
on draft-achille-inter-area-protection, which I had presented.

I will be sending the more accurate text to help complete
the minutes.
