SECDIR reviewer said:

Section 7 says "The security policies for syslog over DTLS are the
same as those described in [RFC5425]." Does that mean that all the
normative text in section 5 of RFC 5425 applies to implementations
of this document as well? I hope so but if that's the intent, it
should be explicitly stated (for example by adding the text "and
all the normative requirements of section 5 of [RFC5425] apply").

My comment back to the reviewer and the IESG was:
"That is the intent and the added text looks good."

ACTION: Comments?

Thanks,
Chris
