This update consists of eight documents that are intended to replace, extend and update the previous three, plus an additional document on OCCI monitoring. These are available right now on the OGF Public Comments page in Redmine: https://redmine.ogf.org/projects/editor-pubcom/boards Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope this information helps! Alan
