Ketan,

I've trimmed the conversation down to just the relevant points.

As far as the guidance from draft-kucherawy, I'll wait for our AD and IESG to share their views - we'll do as indicated by the IESG.

OK

KT> If I understand your point, and I am paraphrasing, the idea is that we add this document as reference on the OSPFv2/v3 code point registry and in this document's IANA section we add guidelines for IANA to look for whether the allocation request has specified the applicability to the L2 Bundle Member Sub-TLV. So that acts as a checkpoint before future allocations out of this registry. Is that correct?

Yes

So this is half-step between the current state of the document and the suggested new document that changes the registry organization.

I guess. If this hypothetical new document straightens things out better, then this would simply cover anything that happens until that new document is adopted, or in case that never happens.

Alternately, you could hold this document until that other one is ready.

    One last thought: have you considered whether potential future updates
    to the definitions to currently defined sub-TLVs could ever change
    their
applicability?

KT> That would be very remote/unlikely IMO.

    I suspect any time a change is made to the registry that
    adds/replaces a reference to a document defining a sub-TLV, the newly
    referenced document will need to "indicate applicability".

KT> Sure and this should be taken care of by the IANA checks when the new document reference is updated in registry.

Yes.

        Thanks,
        Paul
