1.  Introduction

   [RFC5029] defines the "IS-IS Neighbor Link-Attribute Bit Values"
   registry and specifies a registration procedure of "Standards
   Action".  In practice, this registration procedure is unnecessarily
   restrictive, as it prevents allocation of bits to experimental
   protocols, which in turn increases the risk of conflicts introduced
   by use of unregistered code points (so-called "code point
   squatting").

   Accordingly, this document changes the registration procedure for the
   registry, as described in Section 2.

2.  IANA Considerations

   The

   IANA has changed the registration procedure for the "IS-IS Neighbor
   Link-Attribute Bit Values" registry is changed to be "Expert Review". Review" [RFC8126] and
   has listed this document as a reference for the registry.  General
   guidance for the designated experts is defined in [RFC7370] [RFC7370], and more
   specific guidance can be found in [RFC5029].

3.  Security Considerations

   This document does not affect the security issues discussed in RFC
   5029.
