Hi Dear authors, I'm assigned to review
draft-ietf-pim-sr-p2mp-policy by OPSDir.

General status: Ready with Nits
I read the latest 15 version, and I believe it is ready with a couple of nits
as the following.

-       Section 4.2. Controller Functions

I find this section is a bit ambiguous in general. It reads like to specify
some minimal requirements for the controllers, but there are no “MUST” key
words. If it is some considerations, then it seems a bit unnecessary since
these are quite apparent requirements.

I think the real essential thing is the “SR P2MP tree” capability awareness,
both for the nodes and the controllers. If this document wants to address this
issue, I think there needs to be a bit more comprehensive description. If not,
simply make it an assumption/requirement is also ok.

Small wording issues:

- Some sections uses “forwarding plane”, while some uses “dataplane”. Maybe
it’s better to use only one. Btw, is “dataplane” a conventional word? I guess
“data plane” might be more formal usage (published RFCs seem to use it).

- Section 4.3: there are two “period” at the end of the first paragraph.
