Hi,

are these all the outstanding changes? In other words, is this document ready for IRSG review?

I also note that draft-samrg-sam-baseline-protocol-00 (still) has IANA issues. RELOAD message codes can only be registered via an IETF Standards Action (see draft-ietf-p2psip-base-22). An IRTF-stream document thus cannot register these codes. In my view, this means that draft-samrg-sam-baseline-protocol needs to move over to the IETF.

Thanks,
Lars
