# GEN AD review of draft-ietf-opsec-indicators-of-compromise-03

CC @larseggert

Thanks to Vijay Gurbani for the General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) review
(https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/gen-art/f4qDRffPWyGDKXuxNbrb5UVwU38).

## Comments

### Inclusive language

Found terminology that should be reviewed for inclusivity; see
https://www.rfc-editor.org/part2/#inclusive_language for background and more
guidance:

 * Term `master`; alternatives might be `active`, `central`, `initiator`,
   `leader`, `main`, `orchestrator`, `parent`, `primary`, `server`

## Nits

All comments below are about very minor potential issues that you may choose to
address in some way - or ignore - as you see fit. Some were flagged by
automated tools (via https://github.com/larseggert/ietf-reviewtool), so there
will likely be some false positives. There is no need to let me know what you
did with these suggestions.
