Re: [Idr] AD Review of draft-ietf-idr-rfc8203bis-06

["Jakob Heitz (jheitz)" <[e-mail]>]

Sue, Did you have any luck with the Cyrillic?

The draft says: (See PDF for non-ASCII character string),
but when I click the PDF link, it is exactly the same.

Sasha, are you able to create a PDF with the Cyrillic correctly rendered and upload it?

Alvaro, if we can make it work in the PDF, is it good enough?

If we can't fix this, could we delete the example?
I think the problem is clear enough even without the example.

Regards,
Jakob.

Alvaro: 

Thank you for your AD report. 

A bit thank you for  catching the major issue - that RFC8203 is being declared obsolete. 
(blush).   I'm sorry I missed that one. 

I'll work to try to fix the Cyrillic script. 

Cheerily, Susan Hares

Dear authors:

Thank you for this document!

I only have a couple of comments (see below).  I think these should be easy to address -- I'm starting the IETF Last Call.


Thanks!

Alvaro.

80	1.  Introduction

82	   It can be troublesome for an operator to correlate a BGP-4 [RFC4271]
83	   session teardown in the network with a notice that was transmitted
84	   via offline methods such email or telephone calls.  This document
85	   updates [RFC4486] by specifying a mechanism to transmit a short

88	   shutdown or reset.  This document obsoletes [RFC8203]; the specific

[major] I looked at all the other versions and none of them rendered Cyrillic script.  I have no idea how to fix that, maybe ask the rfc-editor.  I also don't know if there's something special about the new v3 format that would make this easier...  I'll rely on the authors/Shepherd to solve this before approval.
