Summary: This draft is ready for publication as Proposed Standard

I had to read through this text several times to convince myself
implementers could figure out what order they were required to take
steps in vs where they had flexibility:

    o  Upon accepting the Update Notification message, the mobile access
       gateway MUST process the message and perform the actions based on
       the Notification Reason.
       *  If the (A) flag in the message is set to a value of (1), the
          mobile access gateway MUST first send an Update Notification
          Acknowledgement message and set the status code field according
          to the result of processing the Update Notification message.

In particular, it's not immediately obvious if there is tension between
that "MUST first" and having "the result of processing" available.
Please consider rewording to make it clearer that this "result of
processing" is not intended to include waiting for the result of some
action processing this notification message might trigger.
I think we can lose the word first without losing anything. Does the
following rewording work for you?
Yes, thanks!

OLD:
If the (A) flag in the message is set to a value of (1), the mobile
access gateway MUST first send an Update Notification Acknowledgement
message and set the status code field according to the result of
processing the Update Notification message.

NEW:
If the (A) flag in the message is set to a value of (1), the mobile
access gateway MUST send an Update Notification Acknowledgement message
with the status code field set based on the result of processing the
Update Notification message.

It might help readers understand the intended usual case retransmission
mechanics if the expected default values listed in section 7 were called
out earlier in the document.
Sure. Will call out the defaults at first use.

Thanks
Suresh
