Hi Rahul,

Thanks for the info.

Would you be able to tell me which version of the dot-x file that you  
are using for your Sessions implementation (i.e. which minor version  
draft does it correspond to)?

I apologize if I have misunderstood something, but...
By the time Connectathon comes around do you intend to be on the  
draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-08 dot-x file?  In other words, can  
you commit to supporting EXCHANGE_ID in lieu of CREATE_CLIENTID?

Just for clarification, here is the dot-x file that we are working  
toward: http://nfsv4-editor.org/draft-08/nfsv41.x

Okay.

Thanks,
