Thank you to Reese Enghardt for the GENART review.

** As a process check, I was surprised to see that there wasn’t an IETF LC or
telechat review assigned from RTGDIR, OPSDIR, or SECDIR for this document.

In RTG although we ask chairs to obtain RTGDIR reviews prior to advancing documents, we don’t routinely do IETF LC reviews. This document has had two RTGDIR reviews, albeit the most recent one was of version 18, more than a year ago. However, I know from having followed its progress that this document is one of the most thoroughly-critiqued ones to come through the WG and indeed, the area, in some time. I have no concerns that it had insufficient RTG eyes on.

Regarding OPSDIR and SECDIR, I can’t speak for those areas. They generally assign their own work, although again, I see there were early reviews from both directorates. Possibly their policy is to review all Standards Track documents but not all documents on other tracks? But I’m just guessing, if you want to know the answer, Roman, you would do better to direct your question to one of the ADs of those areas.

In any case (and this is principally a reassurance to the authors), Roman’s remark is a COMMENT and therefore non-blocking. I appreciate him raising it, just in case something had been missed. At least from a RTG point of view, I’m comfortable.
