The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TLV Naming in the MANET Generalized Packet/Message Format' (draft-ietf-manet-tlv-naming-04.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-tlv-naming/ Technical Summary This document renames and makes minor changes to some IANA registries that derive from RFC 5444. During progress of another draft (draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-multitopology) issues with current registry naming practices were illustrated; specifically having different names for different TLV type extensions was not allowed. If this naming was enforced certain TLV types would share a "name" but otherwise be completely divergent in meaning. This draft reorganizes the registry naming rules and does not change any protocol functionality. Working Group Summary This work was regarded as a technical change, requested by the AD (Adrian Farrel). There was no particular interest in the draft (for or against), beyond cleaning up the registry and being necessary to progress draft (draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-multitopology). Document Quality The document clearly states it's purpose, to change naming of IANA registries for future assignments and to provide new versions of IANA registries to reflect these rules. It does this clearly and with detail. Personnel Justin Dean (jdean@itd.nrl.navy.mil) is the document shepherd. Alvaro Retana (aretana@cisco.com) is the responsible AD. Joe Macker and Stan Ratliff are the designated experts for the affected registries.
