["Mary Barnes" <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

The draft is now officially available.  As I presented in the meeting last
week, all comments should be received and WG discussion completed by this
Friday, Nov. 29th, so comments should ideally be submitted early this week.


A summary of the changes is available in the thread (which also provides a
link to the word version with changes marked): 
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/midcom/current/msg02807.htm
l

The plan is to get any updates made to the document and the updated document
submitted by Friday, Dec. 6th and made available to the IESG the week of
Dec. 8th.  

Regards,
Mary.

This document provides an evaluation of the applicability of SNMP, 
RSIP, MEGACO, DIAMETER and COPS as the MIDCOM protocol. A summary 
of each of the proposed protocols against the MIDCOM requirements 
and MIDCOM framework is provided.  Compliancy of each of the 
protocols against each requirement is detailed. A conclusion 
summarizes how each of the protocols fares in the evaluation.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
