The IESG has received a request from the Inter-Domain Routing WG (idr) to consider the following document: - 'IANA Registries for BGP Extended Communities' <draft-ietf-idr-extcomm-iana-01.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-11-27. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document reorganizes the IANA Registries for the type values and sub-type values of BGP Extended Communities attribute and the BGP IPv6-Address-Specific Extended Communities attribute. This is done in order to remove inter-dependencies among the registries, thus making it easier for IANA to determine which codepoints are available for assignment in which registries. This document also clarifies the information that must be provided to IANA when requesting an allocation from one or more of these registries. These changes are compatible with the existing allocations, and thus do not affect protocol implementations. The changes will however impact the "IANA Considerations" sections of future protocol specifications. This document updates RFCs 4360 and 5701. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-extcomm-iana/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-extcomm-iana/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
