Hi Thierry,

We(co-authors)  have discussed the editorial suggestions you made.

In item 1) we would like to explain to you why it is not necessary to include G3-PLC relevant documents in the normative section.

Please check out
http://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/normative-informative.html

It says:

"Within an RFC, references to other documents fall into two general categories: "normative" and "informative". Normative references specify documents that must be read to understand or implement the technology in the new RFC, or whose technology must be present for the technology in the new RFC to work. An informative reference is not normative; rather, it only provides additional information. For example, an informative reference might provide background or historical information. Informative references are not required to implement the technology in the RFC."

In order to implement this ietf-6lo-dispatch-iana-registry document, one does not necessarily need to understand the G3-PLC documents nor implement it. G3-PLC specification is required for referencing the Dispatch type values that we want to reserve.

Thus we propose to leave G3-PLC in the informative reference. Is this explanation and proposal acceptable to you?
We will take care of the rest of the comments as per your suggestions.

Thanks,
-Samita

Hi Thierry,

Thanks for the ITU-T  review of the draft-ietf-6lo-dispatch-iana-registry-01.

The following suggestions with respect to the G3-PLC will be taken into considerations by the co-authors and we will shortly publish the revised version.

Thanks,
-Samita

Dear all,

First, I want to thank the authors of the draft for answering appropriately to our concerns. With all the members of the SG15/Q15 we are pleased to see that G.9903 will be recognized within the IANA Protocol Registries.

After reviewing the draft, we made these few comments:

1) Since we ask IANA to register the code points assigned to G3-PLC, we would like to:
*mention G3-PLC not in the "informative references" (section 7.2) but in the "normative references" (section 7.1),
*add the reference of G.9905 in the normative references (section 7.1),
*rename the title of the section 3.3 "ITU-T G.9903 ESC type usage" instead of "Example: ITU-T G.9903 ESC type usage".

2) To avoid referencing a table and figure which the number may evolve in a future revision of the recommendation G.9903, we would rather reference the clause instead of the number of the table.
We would propose then that "[G3-PLC] provides native mesh-under functionalities.  The ESC dispatch type is used with the command frames specified in figure 9-12 and Table 9-35 in [G3-PLC].  The command ID values are 0x01 to 0x1F."
Is changed in
" The ESC dispatch type is used in [G3-PLC] to provide native mesh-under and bootstrapping functionalities.
The ITU-T Recommendation defines command IDs in the section 9.4.2.3 which operates similarly to ESC Extension Type bits.
The command ID values are 0x01 to 0x1F."

We would appreciate if you could make these modifications.
Do not hesitate to contact me for further questions,

Best regards,
Thierry Lys
