Hello Ben,

Thank you Ben for making the changes to the draft based on the feedback for the
previous last call.

I do not hear a call for reformatting at this stage.  I think it would helpful
if you could submit draft -05 based on the changes discussed on this list (and
are already in your githup repo).

Thank you,
Mike
