Re: [auth48] AUTH48: RFC-to-be 9552 <draft-ietf-idr-rfc7752bis-17> for your review

[Alanna Paloma <[e-mail]>]

Hi Ketan,

Your approval has been noted on the AUTH48 status page:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/rfc9552

We will now ask IANA to update their registry accordingly. After the IANA updates are complete, we will move forward with the publication process. 

Thank you,
RFC Editor/ap
