The current document reflects the consensus to date on the feature.  Since
we have multiple vendors working on code related to this specification,
we're expecting minor tweaks to accommodate implementations as we gain
experience with the specification.  Our hope, however, is that the structure
of the feature is generally stable.

The authors and editors of the draft would greatly appreciate your feedback
on the current text.

Things of note:
- We are hoping our re-charter for the working group will be complete by the
  Atlanta IETF and will include this item.
- We have proceeded with requesting code points for the well known MAC
  address and the UDP port.
- The major place where the specification seems to still need attention is
  clarifying behavior in the presence of VLANs when the VLAN terminates in a
  VRF.

As noted before, BFD will *not* be meeting at the upcoming IETF.  However,
it is my intention to publish status slides for the WG as part of the
meeting materials.
