This message was somehow lost in the ether.  I've contacted ietf-action
to see if they can dig up any information.  In any event, sorry, Anoop,
for the inadvertent delay.

Coming from the TRILL part of the world, I don't think this is a problem
that needs to be addressed in this draft.  Generating a unique System ID
for IS-IS is an IS-IS problem, and as such should be addressed in the IS-IS
working group.
