# GEN AD review of draft-ietf-ippm-explicit-flow-measurements-03

CC @larseggert

## Comments

### Too many authors

The document has eight authors, which exceeds the recommended author limit. Has
the sponsoring AD agreed that this is appropriate?

### Inclusive language

Found terminology that should be reviewed for inclusivity; see
https://www.rfc-editor.org/part2/#inclusive_language for background and more
guidance:

 * Term `crippling`; alternatives might be `broken`, `damaged`, `defective`,
   `deformed`, `impaired`

## Nits

All comments below are about very minor potential issues that you may choose to
address in some way - or ignore - as you see fit. Some were flagged by
automated tools (via https://github.com/larseggert/ietf-reviewtool), so there
will likely be some false positives. There is no need to let me know what you
did with these suggestions.

### Outdated references

Document references `draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn-23`, but `-24` is the latest
available revision.

Document references `draft-ietf-tsvwg-udp-options-19`, but `-20` is the latest
available revision.

Did you mean "having"? Or maybe you should add a pronoun? In active voice,
