Technical Summary

This document updates RFC 8029 and RFC 8611 which both define IANA
registries for MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping, in particular the
registration procedure "Private Use" (previously know as "Vendor
Private Use") is changed to "First Come, First Served" for the TLV and
Sub-TLV Registries.

It also updates the description of the procedures for the responses
sent when an unknown or erroneous code point is found.  The updates
are to clarify and align this namespace with recent developments,
e.g. the updates to " Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations
Section in RFCs" (e.g.  RFC 8126), instead of the terminology from
the obsoleted RFC 5226.


Working Group Summary

It was somewhat hard to get WG review for what is a dry procedural
document.  However, after poking the group several times we got enough
review to know that the document is sound, and there were no negative
comments. 

Document Quality

There's nothing here to implement.  The judge of the document is whether
IANA can understand it well enough to implement it, and whether the WG
agrees with the intention.
