     Abstract 

     IANA has defined an "OTN Signal Type" subregistry to the 
     "Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling 
     Parameters" registry. This draft proposes changes to OTN Signal 
     Type subregistry to include Specification Required policies, as 
     defined in [RFC5226].   

     Conventions used in this document 

     The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 
     "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in 
     this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 
     [RFC2119].

     1. Introduction 

        [RFC4328] and [RFC7139] provide the extensions to the 
        Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling to 
        control the full set of OTN features including ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, 
        ODU3, ODU4, ODU2e and ODUflex. However, it does not cover 
        additional signal types mentioned in [G.Sup43] (ODU1e, ODU3e1, 
        and ODU3e2). As ODU1e, ODU3e1, and ODU3e2 signal types are only 
        defined in an ITU-T supplementary document, IANA cannot allocate 
        values from the Standards Action registration policy defined in 
        [RFC5226].  

        IANA maintains "OTN Signal Type" subregistry to the "Generalized 
        Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling Parameters" 
        registry for the OTN signal defined in [RFC4328] and [RFC7139]. 
        However, this subregistry currently is defined to only use the 
        Standards Action registration policy as defined by [RFC5226]. 
        This document extends "OTN Signal Type" subregistry to also 
        support Specification Required policies, as defined in 
        [RFC5226].

     2. IANA Considerations  

        IANA maintains the an "OTN Signal Type" subregistry to the 
        "Generalized  Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling 
        Parameters" registry. The registry currently is defined to use 
        the Standards Action registration policy as defined by 
        [RFC5226]. This document directs that both Standards Action and 
        Specification Required policies, as defined in [RFC5226], be 
        applied to this subregistry. When needed, the Designated Expert 
        shall be identified by a CCAMP WG chair or, in the case the 
        group is no longer active, by the IESG.
