[posting to keep the WG in the loop]

Hi Ketan,

As discussed in the parallel thread with Amanda @ IANA, this looks good, except 
that it would be a good idea to supply specific text for IANA to use as an 
annotation on the registry. Amanda pointed to the Note on 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml#isis-tlv-codepoints-advertising-neighbor-information
 as an example of how to write it.

Thanks,

—John
