Hi Gorry,

Thank you very much for your feedback.
We will add what you point out that we have missed in Section 3.

Some more comments in-line.

You are the english speaking person her, so you are probably right.
However “non-functional” has a technical meaning in software design, and that 
is what I
meant here. See e.g..   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_requirement

I am not sure what you mean here.  Does not NORM implement multicast?
There is no statement about it being reliable or not (but may be it should?)

Yes, so if we want to include NORM (or may be we should not in the initial 
minimal version?) 
then we must include that it supports error detection as in UDP (?).

OK, so we have to include this.
