Dear all
I am an assigned INT directorate reviewer for draft-ietf-emailcore-as.
These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the Internet Area
Directors. Document editors and shepherd(s) should treat these comments just
like they would treat comments from any other IETF contributors and resolve
them along with any other Last Call comments that have been received. For more
details on the INT Directorate, see
https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/intdir/about/

The document serves as necessary Applicability Statement (AS) for updates of
email protocols SMTP and IMF. From my point of view it is quite clearly written
and I want to thank all contributors and both editors as well as all reviewers
so far. Some comments: I think readability could be improved when some
abbreviations would be expanded when first used in the document as e.g.,
Extended HELLO (EHLO), Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), and Augmented Backus-Naur
Form (ABNF) Furthermore in the introduction >[RFC2026], Section 3.2< may be
exchanged by >(as defined in Section 3.2 of [RFC2026])< In ch. 4.3 Isuggest to
replace >specs< by >specifications< and >charset< by >character set< Finally in
ch. 6.1.3 a >)< is missing after (Require TLS [RFC8689]

Thanks and best regards
Dirk
