[Tls-reg-review] [IANA #1184473] Early allocation request for TLS extension type for QUIC (draft-ietf-quic-tls)

[Michelle Cotton via RT <[e-mail]>]

Hello all,

We have changed the assignment for the TLS extension type from 46 to

57	quic_transport_parameters	CH, EE	       N

See: https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-extensiontype-values

As this is a Specification Required registry, we need something to point to for a reference for a Reserved value.  This can be accomplished by a brief internet-draft that describes the 2 reservations.  Alternatively, the experts could post a message to the mailing list documenting the reservation of 40 and 46 along with the reasoning.  In the registry, we could point to the mail in the archive.  It is up to the experts to determine if that is sufficient documentation.

I'm going to resolve this request as it was for the registration for quic_transport_parameters.  We can open a new request for the reservations.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Michelle Cotton
