The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Media Type Specifications and Registration Procedures' (draft-ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs-14.txt) as Best Current Practice This document is the product of the Applications Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Barry Leiba and Pete Resnick. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-appsawg-media-type-regs/ Technical Summary This document defines procedures for the specification and registration of media types for use in HTTP, MIME and other Internet protocols. Working Group Summary The document was developed by seasoned experts in media types, and was preceded by significant discussion. The process has been mostly smooth, but for a great deal of wordsmithing and then picking nits in the smithed words. That process could go on forever, and sometimes seems to. Document Quality The document updates media type registration procedures based on experience since the publication of RFC4288. The procedures created there and in its antecedent have been around for a long time; this document merely refines them. The aforementioned wordsmithing has given us a solid document. Personnel Murray Kucherawy is the Document Shepherd. Barry Leiba is the responsible Area Director. RFC Editor notes: Section 3.1 OLD The first procedure is used for registering registrations from IETF Consensus documents NEW The first procedure is used for registrations from IETF Consensus documents
