Re: [trill] Mirja Kühlewind's No Objection on draft-ietf-trill-channel-tunnel-09: (with COMMENT)

Mirja: 

The assignments imply a standards action for additional assignments.   The WG review did not request further details, but if the IESG feels this is appropriate (and it may well be), it could be changes to IANA registries without changing the sense of the WG LC. 

As WG co-chair, I do not think we need to go back to the WG to discuss this and Donald can set-up the registries in the document.

Hi Donald,

I guess it’s up to the wg to decide if a registry is needed or not. I was just wondering why it was decided to not have one and wanted to double-check that this is the right thing to do. I’m fine with that.

I would however, recommend to add a sentence saying that a document that would want to use any additional value would also need to set up a registry. And further, while table 4.1 says "Available for assignment by IETF Review“, table 3.1 doesn’t; i would recommend to add this there as well.

Mirja
