[Idr] Re: Adoption call for IANA Registrations for the BGP Finite State Machine (FSM) (ending 31 May, 2024)

[Jeffrey Haas <[e-mail]>]

Thanks, Ketan.

At the moment, the text reads:
"IANA is requested to create a new registry, titled, "BGP-4 Finite State Machine (FSM) Elements"

The intent of the text is a new top-level registry.  If you think this is unclear intent and have better suggested wording, that may help.

Where the registry lives, including as a sub-registry under the existing BGP registries, is within scope of discussion before publication.
