All,
     This -06 version *should* be very close to complete. 
Please
provide any feedback on issues found with it.  This version
does not
contain the control and monitoring specification.  The
chairs have
decided to provide that in a separate internet-draft.

Regards,
Brian

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line
Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Network Time Protocol
Working Group of
the IETF.

	Title		: Network Time Protocol Version 4 Protocol And
Algorithms
Specification
	Author(s)	: J. Burbank, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ntp-ntpv4-proto-06.txt
	Pages		: 108
	Date		: 2007-5-31
	
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used to
synchronize
   computer clocks in the Internet.  This document describes
NTP Version
   4 (NTPv4), which is backwards compatible with NTP Version
3 (NTPv3)
   described in RFC 1305, as well as previous versions of
the protocol.
   It includes a modified protocol header to accommodate the
Internet
   Protocol Version 6 address family.  NTPv4 includes
fundamental
   improvements in the mitigation and discipline algorithms
which extend
   the potential accuracy to the tens of microseconds with
modern
   workstations and fast LANs.  It includes a dynamic server
discovery
   scheme, so that in many cases specific server
configuration is not
   required.  It corrects certain errors in the NTPv3 design
and
   implementation and includes an optional extension
mechanism.

That's okay as long as the NTP packet modes are defined in
this draft
unless you want the separate draft as extending this draft.

My thought was to leave section 3 of the protocol spec as is
and have
the new control/monitoring spec refer to this one.

If you know of any other referential issues with having the
control spec
separate, please let me know.

Thanks,
Brian
