Re: [storm] Working Group Last Call - Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) SCSI Features Update

["Black, David" <[e-mail]>]

This Working Group Last Call on the iscsi-sam draft has concluded.

The only comments that I saw were mine:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/storm/current/msg00744.html

A new version of this draft should be prepared that reflects those
comments and submitted quickly - the iSCSI MIB draft is being held
back from IESG evaluation until there is a version of the iscsi-sam
draft that has the correct IANA considerations for the values of
the iSCSIProtocolLevel key.

Keep in mind that the Berlin cutoff for Internet Draft submissions
is 2400 GMT (Zulu time) on next Monday, July 15.

Thanks,
--David (storm WG co-chair)
