[Idr] Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-idr-rfc4360-bis-02.txt

[Jeffrey Haas <[e-mail]>]

Thank you, Nat, for your continued hard work on this draft.

This document should largely be ready for last call.  I have initiated a 
request for security and routing directorate review for the current 
version of the draft.

The point below covering early registries is important for the WG to 
consider.  It is regularly the case that new extended type extended 
communities require sub-registries.  These sub-registries, especially 
for popular work in-progress, often end up maintaining the early 
registry in the defining draft. Permitting IANA to manage these new 
early registries will ease work for authors and the working groups.  
However, in the current form, this creates a normative reference which 
will delay RFC publication.  A question to our AD is whether we can make 
this an informative reference?

Please review this draft and supply feedback.  The IDR chairs will 
discuss when to initiate last call based on this feedback.
