Dear authors, dear intarea WG,

As you may have seen the IESG ballots[1] for the evaluation of 
draft-ietf-intarea-icmp-exten-hdr-len has currently 2 blocking DISCUSS with 
several blocking issues, moreover other ADs support the DISCUSS...

My reading of the blocking issues are around whether this draft is useful and 
how the backward compatibility. The AD review[2] had related points.

To let authors to address the backward compatibility issue (which still worries 
me), I have removed the IESG evaluation from the 21st of August telechat and 
will move it back to a future telechat to have it on the same telechat as 
draft-ietf-intarea-rfc8335bis, this delay should increase the chances of 
positive evaluation.

Suggested actions by authors of:
- draft-ietf-intarea-icmp-exten-hdr-len work on the other comments by 
submitting a revised I-D
- draft-ietf-intarea-rfc8335bis: the above is an incentive to work faster on 
this I-D ;-) else the I-D is not impacted at all by the decision

My own take is that the rfc8335bis is the main (if not the only) motivation for 
icmp-exen-hdr-len draft, so, if the PROBE bis could do without requiring the 
exn-hdr-len, then this will even be easier ;-)

Regards

-éric
