Thanks Sue for starting this call and please see inline for response.

Support early allocation of code points since we have implementations awaiting the same.

Subject: [Idr] Early allocation WG call (1-2 weeks) (Sept

This is a WG call to approve the early allocation of code points requested in draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd-00.   These points are:

   This document requests IANA to assign 2 new code-points from the BGP-

   LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute

   TLVs registry as specified in sections 3<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd-00#section-3> and 4<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd-00#section-4>. (section 5)

While considering this early allocation, please consider

1)      Are there multiple vendors wishing to implement?
[KT] Yes

2)      Is the specification stable and accurate?
[KT] Yes

3)      How quickly do the implementers wish to progress the specification?
[KT] Would like the spec to proceed rather quickly since we have implementations. The Base MSD sub-type is defined in both IGP specs so would like these drafts to at least proceed with that. The other sub-types could be done via separate drafts. We would need the base IGP specs to progress through before this BGP-LS one. The early allocations have been already done for the OSPF & ISIS MSD specs and the shared registry for the sub-types need to be requested by the authors of those documents.

4)      Do you have any concerns on granting this early allocation?
[KT] No

5)      Are you concerned about the IPR on this draft?
[KT] No

There is one IPR Statement on this draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/?submit=draft&id=draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd

The authors should indicate if they know of an IPR in addition to this draft.
