COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you to Tiru Reddy for his SECDIR review.  I saw not response to his
feedback.  I have similar feedback.

** Section 9
   This document uses protocols and procedures defined in the normative
   references, and inherits the security considerations of those
   references.

-- Please explicitly name the relevant references.

-- Do the Security Considerations of [I-D.ietf-bier-evpn] apply?

** Section 9
   Incorrect addition, removal, or modification of those
   flags and/or ECs will cause the procedures defined herein to
   malfunction, in which case loss or diversion of data traffic is
   possible.  Implementations should provide tools to easily debug
   configuration mistakes that cause the signaling of incorrect
   information.

Is this manipulation of flags something done as by an attacker or an
unintentional insider misconfiguring a system?  Are there any mitigations for
this manipulation of flags?

** Section 8.  Typo.  Wrong registry name.

   IANA is requested to assign new flags in the "Multicast Flags
   Extended Community Flags" registry.

The formal name of the registry is “Multicast Flags Extended Community” (no
“Flags”) per
https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-extended-communities/bgp-extended-communities.xhtml#multicast-flags
