Dear all,

there have been suggestions to add an additional author to draft-ietf-tcpm-1323bis-01 in past TCPM meetings.

As a consequence, the chairs suggest to add Richard as an additional author in order the help with the completion of this WG item. Please let us know if this should result in any issue.

The understanding of the chairs is that the 1323bis document should really focus on fixing corner cases in RFC 1323, and we think that this document should be finished as soon as possible.

The recent discussion has shown that TCP timestamps could be further improved, e. g., by late activiation of options. However, this is a new concept that seems to require further studies and experiments. Our recommendation is therefore to address such new, interesting use of timestamps in a separate document.

Thanks

Michael (TCPM co-chair)
