Re: [mpls] Poll for Adoption draft-andersson-mpls-moving-iana-registries-00

["Carlos Pignataro (cpignata)" <[e-mail]>]

I believe that fixing and organizing misplaced number registrations is useful and worthwhile as it prevents future confusion, and typically welcome clean-ups.

However, I do not support adoption of draft-andersson-mpls-moving-iana-registries-00 in its current form.

The document solves a small part of the potential source of confusion, and, to me, it should fix all potential inconsistencies or leave things as-is.

Specifically: 
draft-andersson-mpls-moving-iana-registries proposes only to move four namespaces currently in [1] from [RFC6374] into a new heading (registry).

However, there's still the following potential inconsistencies, with all these protocol elements from the G-ACH in different places:
The G-ACH Channel Types namespace, although now it's a superset of the original PW-ACH, is still titled "Pseudowire Associated Channel Types" and is hosted in the pwe3-parameters registry. [2]
Other G-ACH namespaces and assignments from [RFC6427] and [RFC6378] reside in their own mpls-oam-parameters page [3]
G-ACh Advertisement Protocol namespaces are in the pwe3-parameters registry [4] [5] [6], although these are not PWE3.
CC/CV MEP-ID TLV namespace with pwe3-parameters [7]

I would suggest that either things are left as they are, or all these G-ACH/PW-ACH namespaces are moved under a main "Generic Associated Channel (G-ACH)" registry *if* there's consensus for the clean-up.

Thanks,
