Re: [GROW] route leak solution and IANA large community register

[Job Snijders <[e-mail]>]

Dear Sriram, Sue,

Working Group Last Call is possible, but I suspect after WGLC it will
not be possible for the document to progress beyond the Shepherd
Write-up step, because the current -04 version essentially is blocking
on a normative dependency on 'draft-heitz-idr-wklc' (or any successor).

My recommendation would be to let both efforts proceed independently, 
as it probably would be good to continue discussion on whether
draft-ietf-grow-route-leak-detection-mitigation's objective can only be
solved with Large Communities; and separately whether in the large
communities 'space' a segment of the 'spectrum' should be set aside for
future well-known through standards documented signaling.

Kind regards,

Job
GROW Working Group Chair
