Re: [Ianaplan] feedback regarding the combined proposal

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Jari,

I support the draft ICG proposal going forward with a caveat.  The IETF
stated two points that are desired as part of the transition.  You
reiterated this in your June email to the ICG.  The ICG correctly calls
out these points in the summary, but then does not list them in the
transition section.  That may be entirely correct, or it may be an
oversight, depending on whether they have already been addressed.

So that we know what we're talking about, you wrote in June the following:

If this agreement is in place, great.  That should be stated.  If the
agreement is not yet in place, then that should be stated in the
transition section (Section V) of the ICG summary.
