Hey Ketan,

Just about the general bis/ianabis issue:

Coming to the RFC8126 guidance for bis document, yes there is a lot of latitude 
but with that results in a lot of variance across documents. I hope this is 
something that can be relooked at as part of the ianabis work.

We definitely plan to. There’s some tentative new text in 8126bis, but it needs 
to be cleaned up and integrated into the section. I’ll get it into a more 
useful state for -01.

Thanks,
Amanda

Thanks,
Ketan

For the record, IANA’s OK with reproducing the original actions as long as 
there’s a clearly-labeled subsection that lists the new actions. It could be 
useful to also place the original actions under a heading like “RFC 8446 
Actions” or something, but the opening paragraph does explain what’s happening 
here.

The issue for us is that when one document obsoletes another, we’re typically 
meant to replace all references in the IANA registries unless there’s some 
reason to leave a registration out (typically, if it’s being deprecated or 
obsoleted).

We would also be OK with a line that said “All references to RFC X in the IANA 
registries have been replaced with references to this document, except for the 
following registrations:” or something along those lines, although we generally 
prefer that any detailed instructions to applicants or designated experts be 
carried over.

Thanks,
Amanda

Subject: [Ext] Re: [TLS] Re: Ketan Talaulikar's No Objection on 
draft-ietf-tls-rfc8446bis-12: (with COMMENT)

We often have the case where IANA is asked to do something and by the time the 
RFC is published, they’ve already done it. In those situations we often change 
“IANA is requested to …” to “IANA has …” This particular situation is not 
different. If we obsolete 8446 and don’t carry the considerations forward, 
completely, in this draft, it needlessly raises the questions of (a) if 8446 is 
obsoleted, are structure and content of the existing registries still in line 
with IETF consensus; or (b) do you mean to only obsolete *those parts* of 8446 
that don’t talk about the IANA consideratons?

I strongly agree with EKR, that having a single complete spec, rather than a 
“diff spec” is an important thing to do here. It was also the WG view as well.
