Updates to the Allocation Policy for the Border Gateway Protocol - Link
State (BGP-LS) Parameters Registries
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-registry-06
Abstract
RFC 7752 defines Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS). IANA
created a registry consistent with that document called the "Border
Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Parameters Registry" with a
number of sub-registries. The allocation policy applied by IANA for
those registries is "Specification Required" as defined in RFC 8126.
This document updates RFC 7752 by changing the allocation policy for
all of the registries to "Expert Review" and by updating the guidance
to the Designated Experts.

1. Introduction
Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) [RFC7752] requested
IANA to create a registry called the "Border Gateway Protocol - Link
State (BGP-LS) Parameters Registry" with a number of sub-registries.
The allocation policy applied by IANA for those registries is
"Specification Required" as defined in [RFC8126].
The "Specification Required" policy requires evaluation of any
assignment request by a "Designated Expert" and guidelines for any
such experts are given in section 5.1 of [RFC7752]. In addition,
this policy requires that "the values and their meanings must be
documented in a permanent and readily available public specification,
in sufficient detail so that interoperability between independent
implementations is possible" [RFC8126]. Further, the intention
behind "permanent and readily available" is that "a document can
reasonably be expected to be findable and retrievable long after IANA
assignment of the requested value" [RFC8126].
Another allocation policy called "Expert Review" is defined in
[RFC8126]. This policy also requires Expert Review, but has no
requirement for a formal document.
All reviews by Designated Experts are guided by advice given in the
document that defined the registry and set the allocation policy.
This document updates RFC 7752 by changing the allocation policy for
all of the registries to "Expert Review" and updating the guidance to
the Designated Experts.
