+

+ 4.2 of RFC 5031, which allows the registration of service URNs with
+ the 'sos' service type only for emergency services "that are offered
+ widely and in different countries". This document updates those
+ instructions to allow such registrations when, at the time of
+ registration, those services are offered in only one country.

+1. Introduction
+
+ The advice to experts for registering sub-services of the service URN
+ with the 'sos' service type is provided in Section 4.2 of RFC 5031
+ [RFC5031] as follows:
+
+ The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an
+ immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the
+ government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services
+ can be added after expert review and must be of general public
+ interest and have a similar emergency nature. The expert is
+ designated by the ECRIT working group, its successor, or, in their
+ absence, the IESG. The expert review should only approve
+ emergency services that are offered widely and in different
+ countries, with approximately the same caller expectation in terms
+ of services rendered. The 'sos' service is not meant to invoke
+ general government, public information, counseling, or social
+ services.
+
+ Some existing emergency services are, at least initially, offered in
+ only one country. Examples are the "Reporting spies" emergency
+ service offered in South Korea and the "GAULA (anti-kidnapping)"
+ emergency service offered in Colombia according to [WIKIPEDIA].
+ Future emergency service might also initially be introduced in only
+ one country.
+
+ The advice to experts of sub-services of the service URN with the
+ 'sos' service type provided in RFC 5031 [RFC5031] prevents the
+ registration of a sub-service of the service URN with the 'sos'
+ service type for a service that, at the time of registration, is
+ offered in one country only.

+RFC 7163 Country-Specific Emergency Services March 2014
+
+
+ This document updates the 2nd paragraph of Section 4.2 of RFC 5031
+ [RFC5031], in order to allow the registration of service URNs with
+ the 'sos' service type for emergency services that, at the time of
+ registration, are offered in one country only.
+
+2. Conventions
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119
+ [RFC2119].
+
+3. Update to RFC 5031
+
+3.1. General
+
+ Section 3.2 of this document replaces the text of the 2nd paragraph
+ of Section 4.2 (Sub-Services for the 'sos' Service) of RFC 5031
+ [RFC5031].
+
+3.2. New Text Replacing the Text of the 2nd Paragraph of Section 4.2 of
+ RFC 5031
+
+ The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an
+ immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the
+ government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services can
+ be added after expert review. The expert is designated by the ECRIT
+ working group, its successor, or, in their absence, the IESG. The
+ designated expert should only approve services that are to be used
+ for emergency purposes, that are offered in at least one country,
+ that do not match the description of any existing service URN with
+ the 'sos' service type, and where the service description and the URN
+ are defined as broadly as possible to encourage reuse. The 'sos'
+ service is not meant to invoke general government, public
+ information, counseling, or social services.
+
+4. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document updates the advice to the expert of the "'sos' Sub-
+ Services" registry. IANA has updated the reference for that registry
+ <http://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-serviceid-labels> to point to
+ this document (instead of RFC 5031 [RFC5031]).
+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ This document does not update the Security Considerations of RFC
+ 5031.
