There are two issues related to adding a "comments"/"details" like field 
to the NMWG schema used by E2Emon:

- what is the purpose of this field? What goes into it ?
-  who is supposed to provide the information and how will the field be 
populated ? From our experience, most NRENs still have problems to 
maintain the AdministrativeState field at all.

The AdministrativeState field already aims at providing additional 
details (there are several states which can be used).

Before adding a new field to E2Emon, it should be cleared how this can 
improve the work of E2ECU and the operation of E2E links.
