RMT,
The ATSC standardization group is finalizing a standard for NRT delivery (NRT = Non-Real Time), and it is based on FLUTE.  The ATSC NRT needs some of the functionality in the revised FLUTE versus the original FLUTE, and to meet their standardization deadlines they would need the new FLUTE to be an RFC within a month or so.  I have the personal action item to try and make sure that this happens.  Furthermore, Magnus has asked that this FLUTE be finalized into its RFC form before he steps down as AD very soon.

There doesn't seem to be any response to the comments/movement to revise the FLUTE draft from the RMT group based on recently sent out comments from IANA, security directorate,  and Gen-Art LC.  I therefore volunteer (with the help of Mark, Tom) to take over the responsibility to respond to these comments and prepare the new FLUTE draft that is the response.   So, two questions:
(1) Is this ok with the group (Toni, Rod, Vincent)?
(2) If yes to (1), please send the FLUTE draft in the right format for editing/updating as soon as possible (XML?).
Thanks, Mike Luby
