Georgios: Added the following paragraph at the end of Section 1.1:

   This draft is intended to be published as Experimental in order to:
   
      o) validate industry interest by allowing implementation and 
         deployment

      o) gather operational experience, in particular around dynamic 
         interactions of RSVP signaling and PCN notification and 
         corresponding levels of performance.

Georgios:
Added the following text in Section 5:

   In particular, the security considerations within the PCN domain come 
   from the Trust Assumption Section 6.3.1, of [RFC5559] i.e., that all 
   PCN-nodes are PCN-enabled and are trusted for truthful PCN-metering 
   and PCN-marking. 

   In the PCN domain environments addressed by this document, Generic 
   Aggregate Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)messages specified in 
   [RFC4860] are used for support of the PCN Controlled Load (CL) and 
   Single Marking (SM) edge behaviors over a Diffserv cloud using Pre-
   Congestion Notification. Similar, to [RFC4860], [RFC2747] and 
   [RFC3097] may be used to protect RSVP message integrity hop-
   by hop and provide node authentication as well as replay protection, 
   thereby protecting against corruption and spoofing of RSVP messages 
   and PCN feedback. 

   Based on these assumptions, it is considered that this document is 
   NOT introducing any additional security concerns/issues compared to 
   [RFC5559] and/or [RFC4860].

Removed all RFC 2119 words from the terminology section (Section 1.3)

Georgios:
changed From:
Intserv over Diffserv can operate over a statically provisioned Diffserv region or a RSVP aware. 

INTO
Intserv over Diffserv can operate over a statically provisioned or a RSVP aware Diffserv region

Georgios:
Changed from:

By using multiple aggregate reservations for the same PHB, allows enforcement of the different preemption priorities within the aggregation region. 

INTO:
By using multiple aggregate reservations for the same PHB, it allows enforcement of the different preemption priorities within the aggregation region.

In Section 1.3, we have replaced PCN-domain with domain in the text, see below:
Channged from:
   PCN-domain:      a PCN-capable domain; a contiguous set of 
                    PCN-enabled nodes that perform Diffserv scheduling 
                    [RFC2474]; the complete set of PCN-nodes that in 
                    principle can, through PCN-marking packets, 
                    influence decisions about flow admission and 
                    termination within the PCN-domain; includes the PCN-
                    egress-nodes, which measure these PCN-marks, and the 
                    PCN-ingress-nodes.


INTO:
   PCN-domain:      a PCN-capable domain; a contiguous set of

                    PCN-ingress-nodes.
