Hello,

I would like to update the IANA registries some of our drafts use.
I would start with requesting IANA to perform early allocations for DF Election Capabilities
https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-extended-communities/bgp-extended-communities.xhtml#df-election-capabilities

      Bit         Name                             Reference
      ----        ----------------                 -------------
      0           D - Don't Preempt                draft-ietf-bess-evpn-pref-df
      1           A - AC-DF Capability             RFC8584
      2           H - Handshake                    draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery
      3           T - Time Synchronization         draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery
      4           Undefined
      5           P - Port Mode Load-balancing     draft-ietf-bess-evpn-mh-pa

These flags are requested in stable and implemented (deployed) drafts.

Regards,
Luc André
