I reviewed the draft;

The Abstract and Introduction says, "It includes guidance for both the
Internet Service Provider side peering with Route Servers and IXPs
operating Route Servers."

However, the document no longer calls for any direct actions by ISPs.
Obviously, the actions recommended for IXPs will impact the ISPs using
IXPs. However, the statements above imply direct actions by ISPs in
addition to IXPs, not indirect impacts on ISPs from IXP actions.

You should probably rephrase the above statements to refer to indirect
impacts on ISPs unless you expect ISPs to take other direct actions, and if
you do, those other actions need to be more clearly stated.

Thanks.
