perform an “early” review of a draft before it is submitted for
publication to the IESG. The early review can be performed at any time
during the draft’s lifetime as a working group document. The purpose of
the early review depends on the stage that the document has reached. As
this document is in working group last call, my focus for the review was
to determine whether the document is ready to be published. Please
consider my comments along with the other working group last call
comments.
