Hi Tony,

The current draft is pretty robust in terms of area leader election. It
also says that  "Any node that is capable MAY advertise its eligibility to
become Area Leader"

With that can you confirm the procedure to "resign" as area leader ?
Especially that under those circumstances just having active area leader to
resign clearly is not enough to change given flooding scheme.

In some deployments all eligible nodes may advertise such capability which
in turn the "resign" procedure would require NMS action to disable such
capability by configuration and re-flooding it. Not that I am advocating it
nor see need for complex migration procedures, but just would like to
better understand the "resign" part.

Thx,
R.
