Indicating this is the 2nd out of 3 meetings might be useful.

Hmm. Webster claims that I was a wrong, and the word is consensus :-)

It was noted that the current cisco implementation of confederations would
not operate correctly unless all of the routers involved in the confederation
were confederation-aware. This was deemed suboptimal, and it was pointed
out that it could be fixed, and Paul was considering reimplementing them.
(Vadim was of the opinion "if it works, don't fix it")

I think that ispell is your friend :-). I certainly don't spell very
well, and I caught a few... (implementation)



Other than those minor nits, looks good, send it off!
