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. This document also obsoletes RFCs 3044 and
3187 and moves them to Historic status. These RFCs describe the ISSN
and ISBN namespaces, which are now outdated because the descriptions
reside in registration templates.
This document is a product of the Uniform Resource Names, Revised Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
