The IESG has received a request from the Uniform Resource Names, Revised WG (urnbis) to consider the following document: - 'Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace Registration Transition' <draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition-08.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-07-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The original registration procedure for formal Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespaces required IETF Consensus. That requirement discouraged some registrations and increased the risk for problems that could occur as a result. The requirements have now been changed by RFC 8141, which adopts a different model, focusing on encouraging registration and publication of information for all appropriate namespaces. This document clarifies the status of relevant older RFCs and confirms and documents advice to IANA about selected existing registrations. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
