Hi Valery,

Thank you for your review - we have noted your approval on the AUTH48 page 
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/rfc9827>.  As requested, we will coordinate 
publication with draft-ietf-ipsecme-g-ikev2, which should be entering AUTH48 
shortly. 

Thank you,

>>>>>>>>>>>>> parties (e.g., Contributors or Working Group) as necessary
>>>>>>>>>>>>> before providing your approval.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Planning your review
>>>>>>>>>>>>> ---------------------
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please review the following aspects of your document:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  RFC Editor questions
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please review and resolve any questions raised by the RFC
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Editor that have been included in the XML file as comments
>>>>>>>>>>>>> marked as

>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> These questions will also be sent in a subsequent email.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  Changes submitted by coauthors
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please ensure that you review any changes submitted by your
>>>>>>>>>>>>> coauthors.  We assume that if you do not speak up that you
>>>>>>>>>>>>> agree to changes submitted by your coauthors.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  Content
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please review the full content of the document, as this cannot
>>>>>>>>>>>>> change once the RFC is published.  Please pay particular
>> attention
>>>>> to:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> - IANA considerations updates (if applicable)
>>>>>>>>>>>>> - contact information
>>>>>>>>>>>>> - references
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  Copyright notices and legends
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please review the copyright notice and legends as defined in
>>>>>>>>>>>>> RFC 5378 and the Trust Legal Provisions (TLP –
>>>>>>>>>>>>> https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info).
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  Semantic markup
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please review the markup in the XML file to ensure that
>>>>>>>>>>>>> elements of content are correctly tagged.  For example, ensure
>>>>>>>>>>>>> that <sourcecode> and <artwork> are set correctly.  See details
>>>>>>>>>>>>> at <https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary>.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  Formatted output
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please review the PDF, HTML, and TXT files to ensure that the
>>>>>>>>>>>>> formatted output, as generated from the markup in the XML file,
>>>>>>>>>>>>> is reasonable.  Please note that the TXT will have formatting
>>>>>>>>>>>>> limitations compared to the PDF and HTML.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Submitting changes
>>>>>>>>>>>>> ------------------
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> To submit changes, please reply to this email using ‘REPLY ALL’
>>>>>>>>>>>>> as all the parties CCed on this message need to see your
>>>>>>>>>>>>> changes. The parties
>>>>>>>>>>>>> include:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  your coauthors
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  [email protected] (the RPC team)
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g.,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>  IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>  responsible ADs, and the document shepherd).
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  [email protected], which is a new archival mailing
>> list
>>>>>>>>>>>>>  to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion
>>>>>>>>>>>>>  list:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  More info:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 9l2USxI
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ae6P8O4Zc
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  The archive itself:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>    https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> *  Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out
>>>>>>>>>>>>>    of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive
>> matter).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>    If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that
>> you
>>>>>>>>>>>>>    have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>    [email protected] will be re-added to the CC list 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>    its addition will be noted at the top of the message.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> You may submit your changes in one of two ways:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> An update to the provided XML file — OR — An explicit list of
>>>>>>>>>>>>> changes in this format
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Section # (or indicate Global)
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> OLD:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> old text
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> NEW:
>>>>>>>>>>>>> new text
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an
>>>>>>>>>>>>> explicit list of changes, as either form is sufficient.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any
>> changes
>>>>>>>>>>>>> that seem beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new
>>>>>>>>>>>>> text, deletion of text, and technical changes.  Information
>>>>>>>>>>>>> about stream managers can be found in the FAQ.  Editorial
>>>>>>>>>>>>> changes do not require approval from a
>>>>>>>>>>>> stream manager.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Approving for publication
>>>>>>>>>>>>> --------------------------
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>> To approve your RFC for publication, please reply to this email
>>>>>>>>>>>>> stating that you approve this RFC for publication.  Please use
>>>>>>>>>>>>> ‘REPLY ALL’, as all the parties CCed on this message need to see
>> your
>>>>> approval.
