[Tmrg-interest] feedback on draft-irtf-tmrg-metrics?

[Michael Welzl]

Dear Sally, dear TMRG'ers,

I think that this email should refer to
draft-irtf-tmrg-metrics-09.txt
( http://www.icir.org/tmrg/draft-irtf-tmrg-metrics-09.txt )
and not -06

BTW, the reference to RFC 3168 seems to be broken ("BIBREF ..." )

Cheers,
Michael
