Hi, As a member of the Operations Directorate, I have reviewed the following draft for its operational impact. These comments have been written primarily for the benefit of the operations area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. I hope these comments are clear and useful. IRR & Routing Policy Configuration Considerations Intended status: Informational https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-irr-routing-policy-considerations-05 This document catalogs past issues influencing the efficacy of Internet Routing Registries (IRR) for inter-domain routing policy specification and application in the global routing system over the past two decades.  It also discusses, which of these issues are still problematic and which aren't. I feel that this document is generally ready. Non-technical question for authors: From Summary section: "Because of this state increase, the potential to model all policies for all ASes in all routers may still remain illusive" While English is not my first language, I'm not sure if you meant 'elusive' instead of 'illusive'. While the word could certainly be used here, I'm not sure if you're implying whether the potential is hard to get to (elusive), or merely an illusion that isn't or won't be real (illusive). Regards, KK
