[ieee-ietf-coord] IEEE Ethertype Registration Update

[Alvaro Retana <[e-mail]>]

Hi!

To our IEEE friends, is there a process to update the registration
information for Ethertypes?


The IEEE RA assigned an Ethertype (0xAB37) to be used for
draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation (this was done in 2018).  The request
(according to the policies) was made after the IESG approved the document
for publication, but before an RFC number was assigned (rfc8296, in this
case).  The result is that the IEEE RA lists the assignment referring to
draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation and not rfc8296 [1].

Is there an easy way to update this information?  I can send e-mail to the
IEEE RA, but was wondering if there is another way.  Also, the contact
information for this particular entry is listed as "IETF Routing Area” —
even though I haven’t asked, I would assume the IESG would want itself as
the contact for IETF-related listings.  There are several entries with
similar issues.

Obviously this is not an urgent matter, just a little “spring cleanup”
being done in the WG.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
