Hi Christian (, Rob): Thanks for your comments. We really appreciate them. Please see some comments inline.

Let me send you the link to avoid repeating myself :) https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/i2nsf/IZyRrrTZu7tVm5Kpqe2mw5-kZ1w/ <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/i2nsf/IZyRrrTZu7tVm5Kpqe2mw5-kZ1w/> Thus, the change “the notifications in the ikeless module as a feature” is just the tip of the iceberg of a bigger change discussed in that link (moving SAD container to the common module). In other words, just simply adding "the notifications in the ikeless module as a feature” is not useful and does not help. In fact, the notifications must be defined in the ikeless module, and adding a feature in the ikeless module would not make any sense. As a consequence, the resolution was to move forward with a pragmatic approach at this point of time, by changing the names of the modules (and prefixes) to refer to the I2NSF work.
