I have looked carefully at the diffs since the previous Last Call for this document and I believe that they all represent improvements. Obviously it's a very complex document and I have no doubt there will be future changes in the light of experience, but from my point of view it meets the requirements for a Proposed Standard (assuming normal copy-editing). Specifically I've checked the parts that concern GRASP, as an author of the approved draft-ietf-anima-grasp-15, and they are correct in my opinion. In particular, I coded a demonstration of the two GRASP objectives defined in this draft a couple of years ago, showing that those definitions were correct and implementable. I have retested this demo today.
