9. Triage new bugs

pratul: 4876 ok for FPWD?

kumar: yes. it is a simple change.
... re 4877, unless the text is to be inserted verbatim it would be better to postpone it post FPWD.

pratul: some parts of the abstract need to be changed.

Kirk: the word profile appears a number of times and it will need bigger change to fix it.

pratul: can we just change version to 1.1 ?
... for now, we can use the suggested abstract as-is and then change the spec and the abstract later.

kirk: the current editorial version omits the word IT.

pratul: from the proposed abstract, remove the word IT. other part remains intact.
... agreement for the above.
