In Section 1.1:
"Academia and Industry have studied multiple cognitive radio [2]

The reference seemed odd. It took me some time to understand that
it was put in to address a comment. However, the first (external)
reference that defines that is a 404.
TODO(amancuso): fix link
Ok.
I think the MUST below is one of the two boilerplate words you had a
comment on. Is there another?
See the section after the Abstract and Section 2.1.
In response to earlier comments, this section was reworded and
"MUST" changed to "must". I assume this is what you were questioning.
Ok.

In Section 4.2:
"A simplified operation scenario of offloading content, such as video
stream, from the a metered Internet connection to the a WS connection
consists of the following steps:"
What is a metered Internet connection?

Usage is monitored (metered) and paid for. I rephrased to clarify:
"more congested or costly Internet connection, such as a metered
(fee-based-on-usage) wire, wireless, or satellite service."
In my opinion you don't really have to get into all that. I'll defer
to the author.
cleaned up protocol and operational requirements in response to
earlier comments. This is a good example of a use case, but didn't
fit comfortably as a P or O requirement, and was deleted from
requirements sections.
Ok.
White Space Database (used to be defined in terminology). Changed it
simply to "database".
Ok.
This is a rather large container of worms. We kicked it around for
about a half-hour and concluded that since this doc is for the
Internet Engineering Task Force, most readers will understand (and
forgive). Nonetheless, this is a good point, so I generalized it as
follows (while retaining the commonly used (and loosely-understood)
term: "The database and the master device MUST be connected (e.g.,
through the Internet)."
I agree about that container. :-) The draft is trying to convince me
that white space is better for the Internet connection (see my
previous comment about metered). The requirements is about a
protocol to Access Spectrum Database. IP connectivity is a
lower-layer issue. I am ok with the above text.
This section only intends to state the general requirement. It is my
understanding that the current draft of the protocol specification
specifies JSON encoding of location parameters that is compatible with GEOPRIV.
Ok.
