The IETF review of the I-D continues, and we have reached version 09 which you will find at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rprice-ups-management-protocol/ I think the proposed text is much better following the IETF review of the previous sections. The next big subject in the IETF review will be section 6 "Security Considerations". I expect that a lot of rewriting will be needed in that section, but there will be no technical changes to the NUT protocol. You may have seen in a recent posting a progress report on section 7 "IANA Considerations". Roger
