I've proposed some edits via pull request:
https://github.com/ichdasich/draft-ietf-grow-bgpopsecupd/pull/19/changes
The general nature of the edits is:
- English tweaks and some simplifications. Please review to make sure
that I've not removed important context where text has been removed.
- "Redistributing" has been replaced with "propagating". While the two
are nearly synonymous, redistribution has the sense that "you're
distributing again" which may come from something other than that which
was received.
- I've replaced most instances of "NLRI" with "BGP routes". The RFC
4271 sense of a route is the pairing of NLRI with a set of path
attributes. Since most of the text was discussing this combination, the
swap to BGP routes seemed reasonable.
Things not done:
- In many places where "prefixes" are used, I'd often use "destinations"
for some RFC 4271 consistency. However, operationally, this might make
the text muddier. This would especially be true if the discussion went
from talking about destinations to "prefix limits".
- I have flagged a spot in the diff where I couldn't quite understand
the intention of the English (see XXX JMH)
- There is a claim about treating unknown path attributes as
"immutable". We've hit an inflection point among operators where this
stance is not universal. For some discussion (kindly ignore the
enforcement mechanism), see
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-haas-idr-path-attribute-filtering/.
The working group should make an active decision whether this remains a BCP.

Dears,
We have just extended the WCLC for this document by another 3 weeks,
ending on 2026-04-10. This is to allow for further feedback to the
document and because two new versions of the document were released
since starting WGLC.
Encouraging anybody who has read the document to provide feedback or
support WGLC by replying to this thread.

This Working Group Last Call ends on 2026-03-13
Abstract:
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a critical component in the
Internet to exchange routing information between network domains.
Due to this central nature, it is important to understand the
security and reliability requirements that can and should be ensured
to prevent accidental or intentional routing disturbances.
Previously, security considerations for BGP have been described in
RFC7454 / BCP194. Since the publications of RFC7454, several
developments and changes in operational practice took place that
warrant an update of these best current practices. This document
obsoletes RFC7454, focusing on the overall goals, and providing a
less implementation centric set of best practices.
This document describes security requirements and goals when
operating BGP for exchanging routing information with other
networks,
and explicitly does not focus on specific technical implementations
and requirements.
