Dear Rob, Warren, As chairs of the ANIMA WG, we hereby request your AD approval for early allocation of code points from IANA according to RFC7120 for draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher.
This is similar to the early registration request we did for what is now RFC8366 (voucher), where we requested voucher encoding with CMS (application/voucher-cms+json) in 2019. We have now active development and interop work (during IETF111 Hackathon) for the new encoding option for the constained voucher via COSE. It would help the ongoing pre-production implementations a lot if they would not have to come up with non-assigned code-points now. Toerless (for the chairs) Draft: Reference document for registration request is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher-13 to be pushed soon after datatracker opens again, until then: https://github.com/anima-wg/constrained-voucher/blob/master/constrained-voucher.txt We request two early allocations: 1. IANA "Media Types" applications registry accordin to draft section 12.5/12.5.1: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#application Name Template Reference voucher-cose+cbor application/voucher-cose+cbor [draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher] Template according to reference draft, section 12.5.1: Type name: application Subtype name: voucher-cose+cbor Required parameters: none Optional parameters: none Encoding considerations: binary Security considerations: Security Considerations of THIS RFC. Interoperability considerations: The format is designed to be broadly interoperable. Published specification: THIS RFC. Applications that use this media type: ANIMA, 6tisch, and other zero-touch onboarding systems Additional information: Magic number(s): None File extension(s): .vch Macintosh file type code(s): none Person & email address to contact for further information: IETF ANIMA WG Intended usage: LIMITED Restrictions on usage: NONE Author: ANIMA WG Change controller: IETF Provisional registration? (standards tree only): NO 2. CoAP content type registy https://www.iana.org/assignments/core-parameters/core-parameters.xhtml#content-formats Media type Encoding ID References ---------------------------- --------- ---- ---------- application/voucher-cose+cbor TBD3 [draft-ietf-anima-constrained-voucher] The ANIMA WG chairs have verified that the required conditions for early allocation from RFC7120, Section 2 are met: a) Standards Action (document is standards track ANIMA WG draft) b) The WG draft adequately describes the desired semantics. c) The WG participants actively working on implementations of the draft have confirmed that the semantic of the code point is stable to the extend that it is clear that the final RFC will need it, and active interoperability testing is ongoing, only challenged by availability of an early allocation. d) The working group chairs think that it would be highly helpful to receive an early allocation code point now to support further interoperability testing, ensuring that the final RFC has the highest level of practical vetting and can be finished as soon as possible. The request for early allocation was brought up in the working group and was faced with no disagreement. The working group chairs also understand that there is no risk of depletion of the registry in question. Thank you very much Toerless (for the chairs) _______________________________________________ Anima mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/anima
