Introduction + + "A URN Namespace for IETF Documents" [RFC2648] defines the "ietf" URN + namespace and a number of sub-namespaces. "An IETF URN Sub-namespace + for Registered Protocol Parameters" [RFC3553] defines an additional + sub-namespace, "params", and creates a registry to document + allocations under that. But there is no registry that lists, in one + place, all sub-namespaces of "ietf". This document creates and + populates such a registry, thereby changing the mechanism defined in + RFC 2648 for adding new sub-namespaces of "ietf". + +2. IANA Considerations + + There is currently a top-level registry group called "IETF Protocol + Parameter Identifiers", which contains one registry, "IETF URN Sub- + namespace for Registered Protocol Parameters". IANA has taken the + following three actions: + + Action 1: Renamed the group "IETF Protocol Parameter Identifiers", + giving it the new name "Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for + IETF Use". The existing registry in that group remains, and its name + is unchanged. Its registration procedure has been updated to "IETF + Review" (formerly called "IETF Consensus"). + + Action 2: Added a new registry to the renamed group. The new + registry is called "IETF URN Sub-namespaces", and new registrations + will use the IETF Review policy [RFC5226], which provides for IETF + consensus in order to add a new URN namespace under "ietf". The new + registry appears first in the group, to provide a human-friendly, + top-down resolution of the namespace hierarchy. + + + + + + +Leiba Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 6924 IETF URN Namespace Registry April 2013 + + + Action 3: Populated the new registry as follows: + + IETF URN Sub-namespaces + + Registration Procedures: IETF Review + Reference: [RFC6924] + + Note: This is the Official Registry for sub-namespaces of the 'IETF' + URN Namespace. + + Sub-namespace | Reference | IANA Registry Reference + --------------+-----------+----------------------------------------- + rfc | [RFC2648] | none + fyi | [RFC2648] | none + std | [RFC2648] | none + bcp | [RFC2648] | none + id | [RFC2648] | none + mtg | [RFC2648] | none + params | [RFC3553] | [http://www.iana.org/assignments/params] + --------------+-----------+----------------------------------------- + +3.
