Mahesh and Joe, Thanks for the investigations. The PS vs. informational was non-blocking in my ballot anyway, so, I am good in either case.
I have more concerns with the registry registration of “FCFS with expert review”, cfr Amanda Babar’s email dated 11th of October.

Eric, are you ok with the rational, or do you still feel the document needs to be updated to a PS?

Informational Seems wrong. I see that the document declares that, and I think that's a copy'n'paste mistake. It should be std. At one point, we were told that only IETF-stream STD could create certain categories of registry, and that's why we couldn't go ISE. [JMC] Yes, I think this is a byproduct of how the document evolved both itself and with PCAP and PCAPng. Given the registry, yes, PS is probably a better choice. I can update the shepherd write-up. [JMC2] I went back to 2022/2023 to refresh my memory on this. There was discussion from mcr that linktypes should be PS to provide the necessary registry. Med replied he didn’t think it was so. Mcr replied that as Info, the registry would only be able to provide up to Specification Required (though my read of 8126 is different here, and would allow up to IETF Review). Med then replied, “OK, thanks. Publishing the doc as Info would be OK then.” I didn’t see any other replies to this point (thread: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/opsawg/dUiGXuCnMwvzAJLuMcheGXA-MUM/). [JMC2] Given that, unless there is a need for higher-level review for registry entries, it seems Info is still okay. Joe Mahesh Jethanandani [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
