[ippm] Fwd: Re: Fwd: Expiration impending: draft-ietf-ippm-reporting-metrics

[Al Morton <[e-mail]>]

Henk, Matt,

Just Prior to the WGLC, Daniel Genin sent the message below
to me and the list, and I just located it in the archive:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ippm/current/msg02769.html

In any case, the authors plan to address Daniel's comments
and issue a revised draft, hopefully this weekend.

regards,
Al
