Re: [Idr] Early Code Point allocation for draft-ietf-idr-eag-distribution-05 (12/8 to 12/22)

["Les Ginsberg (ginsberg)" <[e-mail]>]

Sue -

Has early allocation been completed?
I don't see any code point assigned in the BGP-LS registry (apologies if I missed it).

Thanx.

WG:

We've received 7 positive comments for early allocation of the draft-ietf-idr-eag-distribution-05.txt work.  There were no problems pointed to with the draft-ietf-idr-eag-distribution-05.txt specification.   The WG chairs usually like a few more positive comments, but the December time period (12/8 to 12/22) may have reduced the number of comments.  We received no substantial number of comments after the first week.

Cisco has completed an implementation and is looking for an interoperability test prior to shipping code. The work has implementations that need the early allocation, a stable specification, and these positive comments on the list.  I've received several comments requesting the processing of this call.  Based on the WG continued request to get implementations early allocation of code points, I'm going to declare WG consensus on allocating these code points.  I will forward this early allocation request to Alvaro Retana for processing.

I think this points to the fact that we should go to single week early allocation request.   The drafts either succeed or fail on the first week's work.

PS - I think this points to the fact that we should go to single week early allocation request.   The drafts either succeed or fail on the first week's work.   John and I are always looking for feedback to determine if we are following the wishes of the IDR WG in getting this early allocations.
