Hi,

It is worth looking at how you would do the bis.

Option 1 says that an implementation can put absolutely anything in the field
under a single code point.
If you want to bis that, you automatically make all implementations broken
unless you define a new OI so you would have ...
0 reserved
1 vendor-specific unknown format
2 (in the bis) vendor-specific with OUI

Option 3 says that *today* there is no such thing as vendor-specific AI. In that
case the code point is not even seen and implementations today cannot do vendor
specific stuff.
So you would have S=0 reserved
And you would bis by S=1 means vendor-specific.

Either approach works.


Now, let's discuss existing implementations.
AFAICS no-one is close to shipping product (please tell me if I am wrong).
So there is no rush.

Now let's discuss timing.
Option 1 and option 3 allow publication soon, with a bis later. The bis would
not happen until the ITU-T has finalised the format for vendor-specific AIs
Option 2 can be approached two ways
a. *Guess* which way the ITU-T will define the vendor-specific AI
b. Wait until the ITU-T has finalised the format for vendor-specific AIs.

I would like the chairs to help me and the shepherd understand the preferred
approach so that we can determine what to do with the document.

Thanks,
Adrian
