Re: [Teas] Martin Vigoureux's No Objection on draft-ietf-teas-actn-framework-14: (with COMMENT)

Adrian,

thank you for your quick reply.
Actually I prefer the new text :-) but I let you decide which one to use.

Ok for not capitalising the first letter of domain. I note however there

    border nodes in Domain Y to PE2

cheers
