Re: [sip-overload] Local Policy Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-soc-load-control-event-package-05.txt

[Salvatore Loreto <[e-mail]>]

we have been discussing this issue (i.e. SHOULD vs MUST) over the last 
couple of weeks or even more.
THE result is that an explanatory text is the key thing to have either way
because of the different views on what a policy can and cannot be.

having said that,
my reading is that there is a large preference to use  SHOULD
with the explanatory text proposed by Vijay below
