Authors, The review by Joan was part of the MPLS RT review prior to polling the document to become a working group. Though updating the draft prior to the poll is strictly not necessary to start the poll. However I would strongly prefer to poll an updated document. Could you please update and republish. /Loa (as wg chair) On 2012-05-23 23:16, Thomas Nadeau wrote: > > Hi Joan! > > Thanks for the review.
