Re: [sig-policy] last call: prop-061: Autonomous System Numbers (ASN) for documentation purposes

[David Woodgate <David.Woodgate@telstra.net>]

Randy,

Members of this list may have noticed in the IDR mailing list that 
draft-huston-as-documentation-reservation-00.txt  has been submitted 
to effect a reservation by IANA (through IETF direction) of AS 
numbers for documentation purposes. It appears (based only on my 
personal observation of the mailing list, and not a statement of 
formal working group outcome) that consensus will see this draft 
adopted soon as an IDR WG document, and there have been some calls to 
see this document fast-tracked to RFC status.

I note that adoption of this draft as an RFC could make prop-061 redundant.

Regards,

                                        David
