Andy and all,
A brief pre-LC comment on the draft in question:

In its present form the draft only indicates whether the FCS is 
retained or not  as the corresponding Interface Parameter does 
not carry any value,just ID. 

This is OK when dealing with Ethernet and ATM AAL5 PWs. 

However, if you want to retain FCS in HDLC or FR PWs, FCS retention 
only makes sense if the two ACs use the same FCS size (2 or 4 bytes). 
If the sizes are different, FCS retenation cannot function. 
However, the draft does not allow signaling of the expected FCS 
size and hence does not prevent successful setup of non-operational PWs. 

Hopefully this comment will be helpful.

The authors feel that this draft is ready to enter WG last call.

Thanks,

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in

	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with

	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
