Hi Ryan,

in addition to the recommendation from Barry: please feel free to reply 
to the discusses as soon as possible. We are now in IESG review and an 
extensive discussion within the WG is not required to deal with 
discusses if the issues have been raised and resolved in the WG before.

So e.g. if you think that a discuss has already been addressed during a 
previous WG discussion, please feel free to write so to the reviewing AD 
(with cc to the WG). And repeat a quick brief of the reasoning for the 
benefit of the reviewer who has not been part of the WG discussion before.

Furthermore I would recommend to not wait for any HSTS update 
discussions. It is not clear whether they will happen or not at this 
stage. So to wait for them may not be fruitful.

In general it would be good to answer questions in the current IESG 
review process phase timely and one by one as that will help the ADs to 
close the process on the draft in a timely manner. If we wait too long, 
some may need to read the draft again just to refresh their memory when 
casting their vote to publish.

Just a thought, Tobias (no hat)
