Re: [nfsv4] I-D Action: draft-ietf-nfsv4-mv1-msns-update-02.txt

This is an update regarding plans for draft-ietf-nfsv4-mv1-msns-update-03.
 Even though there have not been any
working group comments about -02 yet, there will be a -03 and my intention
is to request WGLC on that version.   The changes being made to -03 are to
parallel the changes that Chuck made in
draft-ietf-nfsv4-mv0-trunking-update-02, prompted by Spencer D's review
comments on -01.   The intention is to keep the v4.0 and v4.1 documents in
agreement on format and terminology.   The review comments were helpful for
the v4.1 document as they were for the v4.0 document.

As previously indicated, I am able to receive and address working group
comments on the -02 of the mv1 document through 11/11.  My tentative date
for submission of -03 is 11/13.   I'm willing to delay to accomodate issues
that people think are important.   However, minor changes/issues could be
addressed during WGLC, so there is no urgency about getting every last
issue addressed by 11/11.
