Additionally, the editors have gone through the issue tracker and closed a number of duplicate issues. 

Unless there is substantive disagreement from the working group, these actions will be taken in one week from today on April 21. In particular, please review the pull requests, and feel free to suggest improvements. However, please keep in mind that the goal of each PR is not to be perfect and address all known problems but rather to move things forward from where they are now.

As a reminder, we’ve got the next GNAP Interim meeting on May 6th. The editors are looking to publish the next revision of the spec a week ahead of that meeting, to give everyone a chance to read the new draft in its entirety.
