[dhcwg] WGLC request on draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-requirements-02

[Tomek Mrugalski <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
Authors of DHCPv6 Failover Requirements draft believe that it is ready
for a last call. Therefore I would like to ask chairs to announce WGLC
on draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-requirements-02.

Thanks,
Tomek
