Hi Rishabh, *Gunter,

*Gunter - As responsible AD for this document, please review the changes in the 
first paragraph in Section 2 (see 
https://auth48-transition.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc10018-auth48diff.html). 
Additionally, please review followup question 2 below and let us know if you 
approve the added sentence in the Abstract.

Rishabh - Thank you for confirming! We have two final followup questions.

Thanks for your clarification! To further clarify that a CP may have one 
optional optimization objective, may we update the instances below as follows?

Original:
  This CP can have optional traffic
  engineering constraints and/or optimization objective by provisioning
  or by a local policy.
  ...
  Given a Leaf set of an SR P2MP Policy and a CP with constraints and
  optimization objective, the controller computes and instantiates the
  PTI on the nodes that are part of the tree by stitching Replication
  segments [RFC9524] at Root (ingress PE) node, intermediate
  replication nodes and Leaf nodes (egress PEs).
  ...
  A PE interacts with SR P2MP Policy module to create a CP, with
  optional traffic engineering constrains and optimization objective,
  of an SR P2MP Policy when it it originates an Intra-AS I-PMSI A-D
  route [RFC6514], or an Inter-AS I-PMSI A-D route for intra-AS segment
  [RFC6514], or a S-PMSI A-D route [RFC6514], or "wildcard" S-PMSI A-D
  route [RFC6625], with a PTA having SR P2MP P-tunnel type.
  ...
  A PE interacts with SR P2MP Policy module to create a CP, with
  optional traffic engineering constrains and optimization objective,
  of an SR P2MP Policy when it it originates an IMET A-D route
  [RFC7432], or a S-PMSI A-D route [RFC9572], with a PTA having SR P2MP
  P-tunnel type.

Perhaps:
  This CP can have optional traffic
  engineering constraints and/or an optional optimization objective by 
provisioning
  or by a local policy.
  ...
  Given a Leaf set of an SR P2MP Policy and a CP with optional traffic 
  engineering constraints and an optimization objective, the controller 
  computes and instantiates the PTI on the nodes that are part of the tree 
  by stitching Replication segments [RFC9524] at Root (ingress PE) node, 
intermediate
  replication nodes and Leaf nodes (egress PEs).
  ...
  A PE interacts with SR P2MP Policy module to create a CP, with
  optional traffic engineering constrains and an optional optimization 
objective,
  of an SR P2MP Policy when it it originates an Intra-AS I-PMSI A-D
  route [RFC6514], or an Inter-AS I-PMSI A-D route for intra-AS segment
  [RFC6514], or a S-PMSI A-D route [RFC6514], or "wildcard" S-PMSI A-D
  route [RFC6625], with a PTA having SR P2MP P-tunnel type.
  ...
  A PE interacts with SR P2MP Policy module to create a CP, with
  optional traffic engineering constrains and an optional optimization 
objective,
  of an SR P2MP Policy when it it originates an IMET A-D route
  [RFC7432], or a S-PMSI A-D route [RFC9572], with a PTA having SR P2MP
  P-tunnel type.


2) May we add this sentence to the end of the abstract to indicate that this 
document updates RFCs 6514 and 7988? See 
https://authors.ietf.org/en/required-content#abstract.

Perhaps:
This document updates RFCs 6514 and 7988.
