Subject: [storm] RDDP registries draft (and MPA peer connect draft) status

The draft to establish the RDDP registries has been submitted, and should be posted soon.  I'm attaching a copy because the draft submission is currently held up by some sort of -00 approval process misfire in the IETF datatracker.

Many thanks to Mike Ko for doing the grunt work of copying all the values out of the existing RFCs on short notice - that probably saved about a month in getting the MPA peer connect draft approved and published.

The plan for the MPA peer connect draft is that a -08 version that responds to the IETF Last Call and IESG Evaluation comments should be submitted later this week.  That version will normatively reference the RDDP registries draft, so the expectation is that IESG approval for the -08 MPA peer connect draft will happen fairly quickly, but the RFC Editor will hold that draft (wait for Missing Reference) until the RDDP registries draft arrives.

The plan for the RDDP registries draft is that a storm WG Last Call will start almost immediately when the -00 version is posted.  That WG LC will run past the draft cutoff for Taipei, hence the most likely result is that a slightly revised version will be submitted get sent to our AD during the Taipei meeting week (Nov 13-19).

Thanks,
--David (storm WG co-chair)
