Summary: (2nd Last Call and Telechat) Almost ready. The points from my 
review of -24 in the first Last Call have all been addressed - thanks - 
with the exception of the location of the key definitions of "session 
id" and "communication session".  The latest version (-26) refers the 
reader to RFC 7206 which needs to be a normative reference but is an 
Informational RFC, creating a downref.    I cannot see that a 
requirements document meets the criteria for an allowable downref as 
described in Section 2 of RFC 3967. Reproducing the two definitions in 
the new draft (and ensuring that they are accurate for the standards 
document) seems to be a better solution IMO.

Major issues:
None

Minor issues:
Downref to RFC 7206 - see above.

Editorial/Nits:
Missing definitions of "session id" and "communication session" - see above.
