The IESG has received a request from the IANA to consider the following implementation of registration procedures for transmission numbers. Background: The IANA assigns transmission numbers (OIDs under the Transmission Group, as defined in Section 3.12 of RFC 1213) with the following prefix: iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.transmission (1.3.6.1.2.1.10) Until now, there are no known documented registration procedures for this registry. The registry was created before IANA Considerations sections were required in documents. Previous registrations were completed via RFCs. Action: In consultation with the IESG, there is a proposal to establish the registration procedures as Specification Required. Rationale: This change in the procedure accommodates the reality that today many standard MIB modules are developped out of the IETF and will allow other Standards Development Organizations to require a transmission number from IANA and present a specification of their own as a reference. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2006-11-27. The registry can be found at the following under "Prefix: iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.transmission (1.3.6.1.2.1.10)" http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
