There is the beginning of yet another debate on the SIMPLE mailing list about do we need an IANA registry from some fields in a specific draft. There does not seem to be a clear opinion on when to create a registry or not and past activities are not 100% consistent. I'm sure this has come up many times before. Are there some things I should go read that help shed light on this? Could the IAB give any advice here? Is it good to use IANA just as a convenient place to go find links to all the RFC you might need to know about? Should we only have a registry only if there is a real possibility to two values being allocated to two different things (when the value was supposed to be unique). Who can is in a good position to help sort this out IAB? IESG? Other? Thanks, Cullen _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
