Data Link Switchers!     Talk to me!

** Action Item:  Comment on DLSw document  ** 

The draft version of the Approved Direction document (version 
0.12) has now been posted for two weeks of the three week review 
cycle.  Our editor, Alan Bartky, informs me that following are the 
only comments he has received to date:

  One from BBN asking help printing the postscript version 
document.

  One from Frank Bordonaro of Cisco saying he would resubmit his
  Capabilities proposal in the proper format.

  One from Shannon who couldn't find his submission in the text
  (Alan had sent the wrong version via email, which has been
corrected).

  One from Jim Cobban of BNR asking me to put the ASCII version
  in eighty column format.

This is the only time that substantive changes and new elements 
may be added to the document.  The next review cycle (for Approved 
Pages) will only be for necessary clarifications and amendments!

Read! Comment!   One week to go!

Oh well, I have posted a new state machine which did not get attention
that it deserves. I feel the current state machine has tons of bugs and am
surprised the group wants to close pages. I for one do not approve the
current state of state machine. If the group feels to go ahead i can't
do much. 

Thanks.

Lakshman.

Laksham, is there any way you can post a version of you FSMs that denotes
which entries you are proposing to change?  It is difficult to go through
them when you have to constantly refer back to another document to find
the affected entries.

Lakshman and fellow DLSw working group members,

Lakshman's proposals were recevied by me and the editorial comments were 
either used or not used based on my consideration and judgement of his
comments and whether his comments changed the technical content or not.
They were not ignored.

Most of his comments had to do with changing/improving the state machine.
I repeat again, ALL STATE MACHINE CHANGES MUST BE DISCUSSED AND APPROVED
BY THE CONNECT/DISCONNECT WORKING GROUP.  I will not add changes to
the state machine unless submitted by Steve Klein to me.  

If you think that the state machine needs fixing, don't give up, but
work in the context of the connect group.  If you are not happy with
the spec., send your contributions to the connect group and 
work it out there.

Your comment on the group going to closed pages is not accurate,
we are still in the process of going towards Approved Direction
status, we still have a way to go before we are finished.

Regards,

Alan (your editor).
