Noted. In fact, my comment at the meeting was not to claim that there was an error in the
slide, but to draw people's attention to what was going on in the slide.

OK. This is a punctuation error in the minutes.

"-- Differs from 11, addresses requirements from TEWG draft"

should read

"-- Differs from 11
 --Addresses requirements from TEWG draft"

We will update the minutes.

Despite the fact that both drafts have been around for some while, the level of discussion
on the ccamp list has been quite low. I also have the impression that the interest in
implementation is not (yet) very strong. As the working group moves on to specify the
problem space that we are trying to resolve, I hope that we will see more debate about the
possible solutions with a view to arriving at a single set of protocol extensions.
