Hi John,

We've posted an update of the draft with the changes as per option 1 below:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lsr-ospf-l2bundles-09

Please let us know if there are any other concerns. Will also let the IANA
team know of this update on the parallel thread so they can also
check/review the same.

Thanks,
Ketan
