The document is READY from an OPS-DIR perspective. This document obsoletes RFC 8203 by fixing a problem which was probably not envisioned when writing that document. The maximum permitted length is changed from 128 to 255 because feedback from operators based in regions which predominantly use multibyte character sets, showed that messages similar in meaning to what can be send in other languages in using single-byte encoding, failed to fit within the Length constraints as specified by RFC8203. As a side comment, it proves the necessity and utility of operators reviews for protocols document. A proper OPS review of RFC 8203 may have revealed the problem and avoid this respin. The document is clear, includes operational considerations, as well as security considerations which are very important for operators. It also examines how the cases of supporting obsolete RFC 8203 or not supporting at all the logging of Shutdown Communication communications are to be dealt with. These aspects are important to operators.
