Jeff:

Answer below.  Please note if we specify the ranges you seek, we will need
to go through WG LC.  It can run in parallel with the other calls.

I believe Sue had intended this to match the form of the existing "Generic
Transitive Experimental Use Extended Community Sub-Types" registry.  This
includes sub-type value and name as fields with reference to the document
and date.  Is that right, Sue?

Sue: Yes this was my understanding of your intent.  Did you have any other
intent?

I think the text was unclear.  The intention is to create two new registries
in the form of the "Generic Transitive Experimental Use Extended Community
Sub-Type".  The new registries are distinct in that the first octet value
(the type) is 0x81 and 0x82 for Part 2 and Part 3 respectively.

Within each of those registries, there is a single entry registered,as per
above.

Please see the attachment at the end of this mail for new proposed IANA
Considerations text that I believe conveys this intent.  It contains all
edits to date.

Sue, is there any reason to not use a similar registration range as the 0x80
range?  I.e.:
0x00-0xbf - FCFS
0xc0-0xff - IETF review?

Sue: I am fine with use but it was not spelled out in the draft.  If this is
the range, we will need a 2 Week LC to confirm this range for both types for
both types. Revise the draft so IANA can confirm, and I'll start the 2 WG LC
in parallel with the other processes.
