Hi Tom,

Thanks for reading!

This is fine, I think.

Do the WG and the authors of draft-ietf-mpls-oam-requirements-05.txt agree
to delay that draft while the OAM requirements for P2MP MPLS-TE are
developed?

[Note to the readers: This is not just MIB modules or new MIB objects.
This is the whole OAM structure.]

It seems to me that you would be happy if the very last sentence was
changed to...
   These requirements are covered in [MPLS-OAM].
No other changes to the text would be needed.

Cheers,
Adrian
