Dirk,

I fail to understand the definition of review in this list.
I made technical comments and got not a single technical answer.

What's the point of having open reviews?
We can shutdown the discussion right away if this is what it is.

I'm not interested in fake reviews to let documents go through w/o
an open technical debate.

this is the abstract:

This document describes a protocol that enables tunneling of Internet
   Protocol traffic over a Content Centric Network (CCNx) or a Named
   Data Network (NDN).  The target use case for such a protocol is to
   provide an IP mobility plane for mobile networks that might otherwise
   use IP-over-IP tunneling, such as the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP)
   used by the Evolved Packet Core in LTE networks (LTE-EPC).  By
   leveraging the elegant, built-in support for mobility provided by
   CCNx or NDN, this protocol achieves performance on par with LTE-EPC,
   equivalent efficiency, and substantially lower implementation and
   protocol complexity [Shannigrahi].  Furthermore, the use of CCNx/NDN
   for this purpose paves the way for the deployment of ICN native
   applications on the mobile network.

For me the above text is wrong with a marketing tone.
