Hi Med,
much appreciate your kind consideration of my comments, detailed responses
to all questions. Few followup notes in-line tagged GIM2>>.

Regards,

GIM2>> I'd propose to use "Fault Management OAM". Continuity Check and
Connectivity Verification tools usually viewed as part of a Fault
Management OAM toolset. These tools can further be characterized as
proactive or on-demand (some may be used in both modes). An example of the
former in IETF is, clearly, BFD, and in the latter group are all variances
of echo request/reply method.

GIM2>> Without the evidence of its use (I recall that the LIME WG published
three models) I'd use less assertive language. Perhaps "may be" or "is
intended to".
