A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Architecture Board Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Defining the Role and Function of the IETF-IANA
Author(s) : G. Huston et al.
Filename : draft-iab-iana-01.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2003-2-14
Many IETF protocols make use of commonly defined values that are
passed within protocol objects. To ensure consistent interpretation
of these values between independent implementations, there is a need
to ensure that the values and associated semantic intent are uniquely
defined. The IETF uses a registry function to record these protocol
values and their associated semantic intent. In this memo the
registry function is referred to as the IETF Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IETF- IANA). This document provides a description
of this function.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-iab-iana-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
