Hello IETF Community, Several people have recently asked me what the policy is for creating or modifying IANA registries using documents in the Independent Submissions Stream, and from time to time a document in the stream requests allocation of a code point from an existing registry. This document is an attempt to describe how I will act (as Independent Submissions Editor) when I am asked to publish such documents. I would very much appreciate comments and thoughts. Best, Adrian -- Adrian Farrel (ISE), rfc-ise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: I-D-Announce <i-d-announce-bounces@xxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of internet-drafts@xxxxxxxx Sent: 13 August 2019 12:24 To: i-d-announce@xxxxxxxx Subject: I-D Action: draft-ise-iana-policy-00.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : How Requests for IANA Action Will be Handled on the Independent Stream Author : Adrian Farrel Filename : draft-ise-iana-policy-00.txt Pages : 5 Date : 2019-08-13 Abstract: The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains registries to track codepoints used by protocols defined by the IETF and documented in RFCs developed on the IETF Stream. The Independent Submissions Stream is another source of documents that can be published as RFCs. This stream is under the care of the Independent Submissions Editor (ISE). This document updates RFC 4846 by describing how the current ISE will handle documents in the Independent Submissions Stream that request actions from the IANA. Nothing in this document changes existing IANA registries and their allocation policies.
