This concludes the WGLC comment period.  Here is my assessment:

Supports advancing the document for publication:
Zafar Ali, Cisco
Jeff Tantsura, Nvidia (as coauthor)
Krishnaswamy Ananthamurthy, Cisco
Mankamana Mishra, Cisco
Jishnu Roy, HPE
Kaliraj Vairavakkali, HPE - specifically as with INFORMATIONAL status.
Julian Lucek, HPE

Does not support advancing the document for publication:
None.

Issues raised:
Kaliraj notes:
> 4.2. for consistency reason, all BGP paths of a prefix MUST use a 
> contributing bandwidth based on the same source (e.g.: all paths are using 
> contributing bandwidth from the same function).

I see that Reshma has taken this up and is responding the raised point from 
Stephane.

Implementation Reports:
No implementation reports were sent as part of last call.  That said, I'm 
personally aware of at least one implementation and will prod that party to 
publicly respond.  It would be good if more than one implementation report were 
submitted, but this isn't required by BESS practices.

Assessment:
My assessment as shepherd is that we have light support for advancing the 
document and no requests to not publish at this time.  My recommendation would 
be that once the point flagged by Kaliraj has been addressed that the chairs 
request publication.

Once the BESS chairs have made their assessment, I'll update the shepherd 
report for this document.

As a comment on the related WGLC for RFC 4360-bis in IDR, support has been very 
light and no objections have been filed.  There are two minor comments flagged 
during that last call to be assessed by the shepherd, Keyur.
