Hi IANA,

We need to find the right way to choose the URI for the XML schema in this draft, and understand based on RFC3688 that the registry at [1] is the right place.

We need to identify whether a URL (like the one currently in the draft: http://www.ietf.org/bgp-l3vpn-unicast.xsd) is suitable, or if it would better to choose a URN (e.g. "urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:bess:unicast"). The registry notes that it applies to both URN and URLs, but there is no precedent for a URL.

I've tried to reach Jari Urpalainen who is the expert designed in this registry, but his email address @nokia.com bounces ("User unknown"). Does IANA have an alternate address to reach him ? If not, does IANA have a backup expert ?

Note that once we have the answer we will have an additional piece of text to add to the IANA actions section.

Best,

-Thomas,
as draft shepherd

Simple: I agree that it should be relatively straight-forward to fix the namespace issue. While I'm not intimately familiar with it, I think that RFC 3688 describes how the appropriate namespace can be assigned. I'm comfortable describing this as editorial rather than material.

RFC 3688 provides a way to ask IANA to assign a URN for a schema. It doesn’t include guidelines on how that URN should look like. From the point of view of the draft in question it is simple to modify the examples to use TBD as a URN. However IANA would probably want guidance as to what name to assign. Does it make sense to include a suggestion in the IANA section ?
