Hello John,

Thanks for your quick reply, even if I am unsure how to read " Yours 
Irrespectively," as I am not an English-native person.

Thank you for pointing me to the new sections 9.1.2 & others => I will update 
my DISCUSS on this point w/o sending another email.

But section 1 still mentions only IGMP and never MLD except for "IGMP/MLD" 
proxy, this is trivial to fix, so I suggest to the authors to update the draft.

Regards

-éric

    [JD]  We added: 

    9.1.2.  Reconstructing IGMP / MLD Membership Reports from Selective 
Multicast Route

    9.2.2.  Reconstructing IGMP / MLD Membership Reports from Multicast 
Membership Report Sync Route

    9.3.2.  Reconstructing IGMP / MLD Leave from Multicast Leave Sync Route

    [JD]  The Abstract states:   This document describes how to support 
efficiently endpoints running IGMP
    (Internet Group Management Protocol) or MLD (Multicast Listener  Discovery) 
for the multicast services
    over an EVPN network by incorporating IGMP/MLD proxy procedures on EVPN 
(Ethernet VPN) PEs.

    We also added this paragraph to section 3 at Ben's behest:

    It is important to note when there is text considering whether a PE 
indicates support for IGMP proxying,
    the corresponding behavior has a natural analogue for indication of support 
for MLD proxying, and the
    analogous requirements apply as well.
