Re: [DNSOP] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-dnsop-aname-02.txt

Working Group

I spent some time this evening reading over the updated draft, and there
has been significant work to help move this forward.
I would encourage others to review it also.

The Chairs are going to put this on the schedule for Bangkok.  We should be
able to walk through the changes and listen for the complaints.

thanks
Tim
