an IAB document under review: draft-iab-iana-principles
I wanted to point folks to a document which has been in progress in the IAB. The document does not discuss specific IANA arrangements or or approaches to transition, but rather points out some underlying principles. It has been out for community comment in the IETF for the last month, and the IAB is considering approving it. But the IAB would welcome your feedback on this topic as well. If you have comments, please send them before Wednesday January 21st. Here is the summary of the document: The registry system is built on trust and mutual cooperation. The use of the registries is voluntary and is not enforced by mandates or certification policies. While the use of registries is voluntary, it is noted that the success of the Internet creates enormous pressure to use Internet protocols and the registries associated with them. This document provides principles for the operation of IANA registries, ensuring that protocol identifiers have consistent meanings and interpretations across all implementations and deployments, and thus providing the necessary trust in the registries. This document is a split off from draft-iab-iana-framework-02. This document contains principles that were scattered in various places in the IANA Framework, pulling them into one place. The IANA Framework has been under discussion since February 2011. The document is available here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-iana-principles-04 Jari
