Dear all,
I believe that the Expert Review (as opposed to FCFS) is best for PCAP
linktypes registry.
Note: I have been in charge of an internal registry. This can quickly
become difficult, as the requester only cares about the assignments,
while someone else, later, will be the real user of the code.
And yes, we know there will be grey areas; I see the Designated Expert
jobs as helping on the documentation front, documenting as much as we can.
Regards, Benoit (as individual)
Hi Joe, all,
I support the change from FCFS to Expert Review, this will also be
beneficial for ensuring its registration quality of PCAP Linktypes
registry.
Best regards
Chongfeng

*Subject:* [OPSAWG]CALL FOR CONSENSUS: Re: IANA considerations for
draft-ietf-opsawg-pcaplinktype
Working Group, as chair, I’d like to get to consensus on this
point as it’s holding up the progression of PCAP work in general.
The proposal is to move the PCAP Linktypes registry to IANA
maintained with an Expert Review policy as defined in RFC 8126.
This would be a change from FCFS.
Please review the proposal and provide your feedback on the
mailing list. Specifically, please address:
*
Do you support or object to this change?
*
If you object, please provide technical reasoning why Expert
Review is not sufficient
Joe

Dear WG,
We started with two allocation policies:
1. First Come First Services (50% of numbers)
2. Specification Required (50% of numbers)
After some thought, we flipped the two so that the existing
allocations,
which were not consistently Specification Required, would be in
FCFS area.
Then the question was asked, why would anyone go the Spec Required?
So we merged it all into FCFS, but probably that was too weak, and
I thought that we could have some softer review. So it's now a mess.
I suggest we change this from FCFS to Expert Review.
[JMC] I know I said this to a limited audience the other day, so
replying here that I agree with you, Michael.
Joe
