To be clear about one of the points in the review, MAY NOT is not allowed by RFC2119 because it is totally ambiguous in English (since it can mean either "must not" or "might not"). In any case the phrase "MAY or MAY NOT" is not of any normative value. It presumably simply means "MAY" in all cases in this draft.

Regards
   Brian

WG,
I have reviewed the entire document.
First, I'm not an IPv6 expert.
As far as I can see the sued on
I have not used github, I had a couple of attempts to learn the tools,
but so far I have failed.
I have instead done what I use to do, use the review tool with Word.
Since I sometimes have a pushback on the docx-format I save the result
as a .txt-file. Drawback is that all comment show up as refrences to a
list at the end of the document. But you can't get everything.

PS gives this output for this draft; it is quite a lot and in itself are
so much that it is worth sending it bck to the authors and asking them
to fix it. Was the noits tool checked at all before starting the wglc?

Hello,

    As agreed in the working group session in Singapore, this message starts a new two week 6MAN Working Group Last Call on advancing:

    Title    : Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) in Segment Routing Networks with IPv6 Data plane (SRv6)
    Author   : Z. Ali, C. Filsfils, S. Matsushima, D. Voyer, M. Chen
    Filename : draft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam-02
    Pages    : 23
    Date     : 2019-11-20

      https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam/

as a Proposed Standard.

Substantive comments and statements of support for publishing this document should be directed to the mailing list.
Editorial suggestions can be sent to the author. This last call will end on the 18th of December 2019.

To improve document quality and ensure that bugs are caught as early as possible, we would require at least
two reviewers to do a complete review of the document.  Please let the chairs know if you are willing to be a reviewer.

The last call will be forwarded to the spring working group, with discussion directed to the ipv6 list.

Thanks,
Bob & Ole, 6man co-chairs
