Hi group, This morning I thought to myself: "isn't part of the codepoint squatting challenge our dependence on manual review of drafts for documented potential squatting?" Perhaps the idnits tool (https://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/about) can be updated in such a way to throw a warning or nit error when the Working group is "IDR" and the "IANA Considerations" section contains any of these regexes: [cCode] \(suggested [0-9]+\) suggested value .* [0-9]+\. [tT]he suggested value Or perhaps only look for these if the string 'TDB' doesn't occur anywhere the "IANA Considerations" section. I'm sure we can come up with some likely heuristics based on prior submissions to catch potential squatting-to-be. The idnits tools could make a suggestion like: "It appears this draft targetted for IDR is self servicing BGP codepoints, please review https://trac.ietf.org/trac/idr/wiki/Checklist%20for%20writing%20a%20BGP-related%20draft or contact the IDR chairs". Of course this may only be a small piece of the solution, but it could help instill discipline in this working group. Kind regards, Job
