Hi,

Haven't followed this discussion in detail, but if the change wanted is only to the IANA registry, and given how the "Updates" tag is very undefined, this wouldn't have to update 8152bis strictly speaking: this could provide a different definition and update the registry (including reference) accordingly. Maybe not the prettiest solution, but might save complications.

John: Skipping “Updates” seems like bad solution in general. “Updates” gives people a chance to see that there is an update. Without “Updates” nobody will notice that there was a change.

Also, this made me take a look at the status of 8152bis, which is in AUTH48: if there was enough community consensus around this change, this change could be done directly in the 8152bis with the appropriate amount of last calls and community feedback etc. Yes, this would delay publication of that document, but given how it's been in AUTH48 for 1.5 months, maybe it could be reasonable to wait the additional weeks, if that's what the community wants and the changes are minor. Food for thoughts.

John: I think that is a very good idea worth doing.

Francesca

    I think it would invite questions of charter scope if a document from LAKE
    attempted to update rfc8152bis-struct; keeping that work in COSE seems
    likely to have an easier path, process-wise.
