(9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it 
represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others
being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it?  

  There is good consensus from the WG.

  No.

(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this
document. (See http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts
Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be
thorough.
  
  One nit remains: 
  
Missing Reference: 'RFC 5575' is mentioned on line 111, but  not defined.
    This is due to the spare space between "RFC" and "5575".

criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.
  
  Not applicable.

(13) Have all references within this document been identified as
either normative or informative?

advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative
references exist, what is the plan for their completion?
 
  No.

(15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)?
If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in 
the Last Call procedure. 

  No.

(16) Will publication of this document change the status of any
existing RFCs? Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed
in the abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not
listed in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to the
part of the document where the relationship of this document to the
other RFCs is discussed. If this information is not in the document,
explain why the WG considers it unnecessary.
  
  Yes, this document intends to update RFC5575 and it is listed in the 
  Abstract and Introduction.

section, especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the
document. Confirm that all protocol extensions that the document makes
are associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries.
Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly
identified. Confirm that newly created IANA registries include a
detailed specification of the initial contents for the registry, that
allocations procedures for future registrations are defined, and a
reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC 5226).
   
  The IANA Considerations section is correct and consistent with the body
  of the document.   

(18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for future
allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG would find
useful in selecting the IANA Experts for these new registries.
