The last call for the link-bandwidth draft concluded last Friday.  We've had
a trickle of final questions come in, but the replies have only resulted in
minor editor changes to the draft.

There was good participation in the last call. Thank you.

The shepherd writeup has been posted to the datatracker.  There are
currently two pending IPR attestations we're looking for: Rafal and Rex.
Rex has been hard to contact in recent years regarding his old IETF work
since he's no longer active in IETF.  He has already been moved to a
contributor and out of the author's block for the draft by the current
document editors.

With regard to the request from the BESS chairs to consider merging the use
case documents from BESS into the main draft, there was no consensus to do
that during the last call.  The IDR chairs will work with BESS to figure out
how to best move forward that lingering work.

Note that one piece of this work will be an RFC 4360-bis to do the minor
update to the extended communities specification for originating
non-transitive extended communities in adjacent ASes.  Please contact the
IDR chairs if you're interested in taking on this editorial role!.
