Hi Markku, Thanks for your message below! Your message is timely, as we are at an earlier stage of the document process. (I understand that the shepherd writeup still needs to be prepared, and the document has not yet been evaluated by the IESG.) In the next update of the draft, we will add the reference and will edit the text as per your suggestion. Once again, thanks a lot for your contributions to this document!
