[Idr] Requesting WG adoption and WGLC of draft-scudder-deprecate-dpa-etal-00.txt

["John G. Scudder" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Nobody responded to my note of November 8 ("Deprecating path attributes DPA, ADVERTISER and RCID_PATH / CLUSTER_ID"). Accordingly, I've submitted the below tiny Internet Draft. The substantive text of the draft is:

1.  Introduction

   As of this writing the BGP Path Attributes registry maintained by
   IANA contains entries for DPA, ADVERTISER, and RCID_PATH /
   CLUSTER_ID.  The first of these is associated with
   [draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-05], an Internet Draft that was abandoned in
   1996.  The latter are associated with [RFC1863], an RFC that was
   reclassified as Historic in 2005.  Neither of these specifications is
   in use now, nor ever was.


2.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests IANA to mark the BGP Path Attributes registry
   entries for DPA, ADVERTISER, and RCID_PATH / CLUSTER_ID as
   "Deprecated".

The rest is boilerplate, references, etc. 

I would like to ask the WG to adopt the draft. Since the draft is so trivial, I would like to also request a WGLC, to run in parallel. 

Since many WG members will be on holiday for part of next week, let's have the call for adoption + WGLC end on December 3. Please send any comments before December 3.

Also, regarding the out-of-the-ordinary expedited WGLC: If there's any disagreement whatsoever (with the content or wording of the draft, its adoption, or indeed the expedited procedure itself), let's have only the call for adoption end on December 3, and then we can do a normal WGLC when appropriate.

Thanks,

--John (wearing two hats)
