Re: [Roll] Last Call: <draft-ietf-roll-trickle-mcast-06.txt> (Multicast Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks (MPL)) to Proposed Standard

[Ralph Droms <[e-mail]>]

I've reviewed draft-ietf-roll-trickle-mcast-06.txt.  The issues I raised during the WG last call have been addressed and, in my opinion, the document is now ready for publication.
