Dear NFSv4, After today's telechat, this draft is in AD follow-up, and the AD I'll be handing off to at IETF 104 will be Magnus Westerlund. My suggestion at this point is to wait until Magnus and I can discuss where the IESG ended up, before the working group spends a lot of time trying to figure out where the IESG ended up. We most often talk on Mondays, so look for a note from us early next week. And thanks for your patience.
