Black Review Date: July 12, 2011 IETF LC End Date: July 13, 2011 Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be fixed before publication. This draft defines a SIP Resource Priority header namespace, "esnet", for use in providing preferential treatment to emergency calls (e.g., from on-scene responders). This field is an addition to rather than a replacement for existing notions of priority in the SIP Resource Priority header. Section 2 explains why this was done, but section 2 is a bit sloppy and imprecise. Some level of imprecision is necessary as this draft deliberately does not specify how this header namespace is used to provide preferential treatment. Nonetheless, the following two items could be improved in Section 2's discussion: 1) Explain the reason for including the second paragraph, the paragraph that references RFC 4412's discouragement of modification of priorities within an administrative domain. That paragraph's not connected to the rest of section 2. 2) Explicitly state that one of the anticipated uses of the priorities in the esnet namespace is to override the ordinary priorities found elsewhere in the Resource Priority header. Small nit: There's an extraneous "to" in the first line of section 3: The "esnet" namespace should not to be considered generic for all ^^ idnits 2.12.12 found a few formatting problems: == You're using the IETF Trust Provisions' Section 6.b License Notice from 12 Sep 2009 rather than the newer Notice from 28 Dec 2009.
