Dear Eric,
Thank you for your review. Please see the attached note from IANA. Can
you assist me in reconciling your note and theirs? If I read their note
correctly, they have sufficient information. Is this not the case?

Document: draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-option-05.txt
A Timezone Option for DHCP
Reviewer: Eric Gray
Review Date: 2007.01.11
IETF LC End Date: 2007.01.11
Summary:
This document is almost ready for publication as a Proposed
Standard. There is one issue that may need to be addresed.
Additional, minor, comment(s) and or NITs may be addressed
at the author's or AD's discretion.
Comments:
Issue - section 10 should specifically identify the values
that need to be assigned by IANA. In fact, at some point,
it will be necessary to provide IANA with the substance of
any notes that should be added to the registry.
I recommend adding a specific note to this section and use
variable names to allow the RFC editor to easily update the
RFC with the values IANA provides. It seems likely that it
should be sufficient simply to list the names used for the
values needed.
>From my review, it appears that IANA needs to assign values
"PCode" and "TCode" identified in section 2 ("New Timezone
Options for DHCPv4"), and "OPTION_NEW_POSIX_TIMEZONE" and
"OPTION_NEW_TZDB_TIMEZONE" identified in section 6 ("New
Timezone Options for DHCPv6").
I would suggest adding text similar to the following -
"The values required are:
For DHCPv4 (section 2 of this memo)
PCode
TCode
For DHCPv6 (section 3 of this memo)
OPTION_NEW_POSIX_TIMEZONE
OPTION_NEW_TZDB_TIMEZONE"
===============================================================
NIT - in the abstract, "... DHCP options each ..." should be
"... DHCP options for each ..." ("for" added).
