    I believe that paragraph should be attached to the list bullet above by
    appending it to the bullet paragraph. (See, for example, the end of
    the immediately following bullet paragraph.)

    OK. That would change this paragraph to read

       EVPN network OAM mechanisms MUST provide in-band monitoring
       capabilities. As such, OAM messages MUST be encoded so that they
       exhibit identical entropy characteristics to data traffic in order
       that they share the same fate.

    One additional change: In line with the first change above, I believe
    that the following paragraph should be merged with the preceding
    bullet item:

       EVPN Network OAM MUST provide mechanisms to check the operation of
       the data plane and verify that operation against the control plane
       view for the DF filtering function.

    Thanks,
    Donald
