Could you change "community set" to "set community" in action items please. "community set" can also refer to a set of communities, the container kind of set.

Basically, if you can not rely on those communities not being stripped then "MUST NOT" is way too strong of a statement. Maybe formally updating RFC1997 and changing the definition of the three communities to "SHOULD NOT" is an appropriate addition to this document. Also, a meta-data link from RFC1997 to this document seems like a good idea in general and by effect references in IANA Well-Known Community Registry to this document as well.

Re: [GROW] I-D Action: draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01.txt
Hello Grow, The draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01.txt posted today makes just a few small changes w.r.t. -00: https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01.txt Specifically: - the Abstract has been adjusted to indicate more clearly what things vendors should do and what things network operators should do. - some loose wording in the Introduction has been tightened up. - the Section 6 "Action Items" are clarified similarly to the clarifications in the Abstract. Also, in response to WGLC comments from David Farmer, a paragraph was added to urge network operators not to depend on any assumed treatment of bgp communities by any neighbor networks: for example, do not assume that your transmitted NO_EXPORT will be honored, unless the neighbor confirms that it will be.

[GROW] I-D Action: draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01.txt
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Global Routing Operations WG of the IETF. Title : Well-Known Community Policy Behavior Authors : Jay Borkenhagen Randy Bush Ron Bonica Serpil Bayraktar Filename: draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01.txt Pages : 6 Date: 2019-01-07 Abstract: Well-Known BGP Communities are manipulated inconsistently by current implementations. This results in difficulties for operators. Network operators are encouraged to deploy consistent community handling across their networks, taking the inconsistent behaviors from the various bgp implementations they operate into consideration. Also, bgp implementors are expected to not create any further inconsistencies from this point forward. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior/ There are also htmlized versions available at: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01 A diff from the previous version is available at: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior-01 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
