Hi,

After careful consideration of the discussion regarding the adoption of draft-decraene-idr-reserved-extended-communities-00, Sue and I have decided to adopt it as a WG item.  To summarize our reasoning:

- The draft's goal is to consume fewer type codes from the extended community space.  Given no concrete downside has been articulated, this seems like a useful thing to do.
- The draft allocates two type codes.  These can be allocated FCFS in any case, absent WG consent.
- The draft creates two new registries.  No downside has been articulated for doing this.

In short, "doesn't hurt, might help".

This message is to begin a two-week WG last call before we send the draft to the IESG.  Please send any comments by 9 a.m. PST, Feb 18 2011.

As a reminder, the draft can be found at

Thanks,

--John and Sue
