Please treat these comments just like any other last call comments. For more information, please see the FAQ at < http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/gen/trac/wiki/GenArtfaq>. Document: draft-ietf-stox-7248bis-12 Reviewer: Ralph Droms Review Date: 2016-10-21 IETF LC End Date: 2016-10-06 IESG Telechat date: 2016-11-03 Summary: Ready for publication as a Proposed Standard I apologize for the late submission of this review. I am not well-versed in either SIP or XMPP, so I could only give the technical content of the document a cursory review. I found no issues to report in that review. I'll make two small editorial suggestions: 1) There are possibly anachronistic references to "this series" of documents. The members of that "series" will be less obvious with the publication of rfc7248bis. It would likely be helpful to list the members of the document series explicitly. 2) It might be useful to add a short section on the history of the document, to give readers of this document an understanding of the motivation for the publication of 7248bis. - Ralph Droms
