Hi Folks,

We have gotten comments back from the IESG on the Partitining 
Requirements ID.
I would like to see comments on the list from the participants of the WG 
and
especially from the authors in repsonse to these issues.  

As I understand it, we can then fix the draft and/or send our repsonse 
to each of
the questions back to the IESG.

a.

ps. i have some personal responses, but will send them in time to the 
list as part
of the, hoefully, ongoing discussion.
