[Gen-art] Re: genart review & Re: [IANA #48214] RE: Last Call: 'A Timezone Option for DHCP' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-option)

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your review.  Please see the attached note from IANA.  Can 
you assist me in reconciling your note and theirs?  If I read their note 
correctly, they have sufficient information.  Is this not the case?

IESG:

The IANA has reviewed the following Internet-Draft which is in Last
Call: draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-option-05.txt, and has the following 
comments/questions with regards to the publication of this document:

Upon approval of this document, the IANA will make three 
changes to the registries that support DHCP:

First, in the registry located at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters
in the subregistry named, BOOTP Vendor Extensions and DHCP 
Options, two new values will be added:

TBD PCode N IEEE 1003.1 String 
TBD TCode N Reference to the TZ Database

Second, in the registry located at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters
in the subregistry named, BOOTP Vendor Extensions and 
DHCP Options, option 2 will be changed from:

With reference changed to reflect the approved document.
