Thanks. This needs to be corrected and replaced by "Status"

I do not think that there is any contradiction in there. In the first
bullet, if you continue reading you find the following: ".... to request
the mobile access gateway to remove all Per-Peer bindings that are
registered with the LMA and hosted at this MAG."

We could rearrange the bullet to read as follows:

In case of revoking all Per-Peer bindings, the Global (G) bit MUST be
set and the Revocation Trigger MUST contain a value of "Per-Peer Policy"
in the Binding Revocation Indication to request the mobile access
gateway to remove all Per-
Peer bindings that are registered with the LMA and hosted at this MAG.

Would that makes it clearer?

Thanks. Will take care of them.
