Dear Jana Iyengar, Ian Swett, Martin Thomson (cc: quic WG), As the designated experts for the QUIC registries, can you review the registration proposals in draft-ietf-quic-multipath-18 for us? These were already previously allocated as provisional registrations in -15 and some in a prior version of this document (I've copied the thread below). Please see:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-multipath/ The due date is December 24th. If this is OK, we'll update the assignment at: https://www.iana.org/assignments/quic/ Unless you ask us to wait for the other reviewers, we’ll act on the first response we receive.
