Hello,

The Routing, Transport and Internet area directors have agreed to move  
the work on Router Alert option (that started in Routing Area) into  
the Internet Area.
Therefore, we would appreciate feedback from this list on the new  
version of draft-rahman-rtg-router-alert-considerations.

Thank you

Francois
