Elwyn - Yes, I agree this is a reasonable change to remove all of the "suggestion" text in the IANA considerations area and will make sure it is in the next draft if one is required, either way all of that text will be removed by IANA, who has also just sent back their review of the actions required.
On your second comment, currently being published as an RFC is a draft reserving as0 in a similar fashion, so I do think it's most appropriate as a second doc.. and I really have trouble tying these reservations to a RFC about Private ASN's. If no doc is published, the good news is that IANA has already reserved the last number (with no justification). Again, if IESG or others feel strongly it should be in this draft, I will try to work out some text to justify their reservations... Thanks!

As specified in the registry, allocations in this registry are either by IETF Concensus (i.e. a suitable RFC such as this draft is intended to be) or request from a RIR. Thus it isn't a matter of suggesting to IANA but telling them what the IETF want done - so this draft should be definitive - and what you said about WG concensus constitutes the values to be used unless somebody else in the IETF manages to alter the concensus which seems unlikely. > IANA will replace the suggested values into TBDX values below that > text if IESG approves.

Publishing a separate draft seems a bit overkill but clearly that's not my decision. ;-) Regards, Elwyn > > Cheers, > > Jon > > -----Original Message----- > From: Elwyn Davies [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 4:15 AM > To: General Area Review Team > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Gen-art last call review of > draft-ietf-idr-as-private-reservation-03 > > I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft.
