Nurit and others, I would commend to you the e-mail that Russ posted here 30Nov2011 in which he says, to Malcolm Johnson, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, >> IETF consensus continues to be required to allocate the code point. My experience leads me to believe that careful clarity about the proposed content changes to G.8113.1, as well as specific clarity that G.8113.1 is not part of MPLS and MPLS-TP, will aid in achieving such a consensus. The current situation has engendered quite a bit of ambiguity in wording which, in my experience, will not produce IETF consensus. so claiming what is and is not part of MPLS-TP calls for some thought. My interpretation is that this is not part of MPLS-TP, but that the code point should be allocated in accordance with RFC4929 which, as I pointed out on the MPLS list, does not require a standards track RFC and requires review by what the IESG considers suitable, which could, or could not, include the MPLS list; but the starting point should be the prior art which Russ has provided us with. The deadline would appear to be 12Jan2012 which Malcolm and Huub would appear to have provided us with the wherewithall to meet.
