REMINDER: WG Last Call: 3GPP Analysis Document

[Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi>]

Hi,

I'd like to remind you that the Last Call is ending soon.

We've received only a few mails of feedback on this (thanks for those!).

This is nowhere near enough to go forward with the document.

So, if you haven't planned to review the document and send feedback, I'd
recommend to try to change the plans if at all possible.. :-)

Thanks,

 Pekka
