I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's 
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the 
IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the 
security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat 
these comments just like any other last call comments.

This document is ready for publication
The document is well written.

The security considerations are clear and accurate. I would like highlight one omission though.  
This capability allows an attacker once it has gained access to schedule events in the future even 
though attackers access has been detected and revoked.
