(BEGIN IANA LAST CALL COMMENTS)
IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:
IANA has reviewed draft-ietf-precis-framework. Authors should review the
comments and/or questions below. Please report any inaccuracies and respond to
any questions as soon as possible.
IANA's reviewer has the following comments/questions:
IANA has a few questions about the IANA actions requested in this document.
This document requests the creation of three registries in support of the
PRECIS Framework. As far as IANA can tell, there have never been registries
created for PRECIS in the past.
Correct.
IANA Question --> should the three registries that are requested in this
document be combined into a singlee, high-level PRECIS master registry where the
three new registries would reside?
That seems reasonable.
These PRECIS registries are very similar to the IDNA registries:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/idna-tables-6.3.0/idna-tables-6.3.0.xhtml
As much as possible, I would respectfully suggest that we follow the
same practices here as for the IDNA registries.
Is PRECIS a brand new parameter, or a new protocol of an existing one?
PRECIS is a brand new protocol, similar to IDNA but applying more generally.
If the former that PRECIS is a brand new parameter, what’s the exact name of
the new registry? Is Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized Strings
in Application Protocols?
That seems good to me.
IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, there are three actions
which IANA must complete.
First, IANA will create a new registry called the PRECIS Derived Property Value
Registry. This new registry will contain the Derived Properties for the
versions of Unicode that are released after (and including) version 6.3 of
Unicode. The derived property value is to be calculated in cooperation with a
designated expert [RFC5226] according to the rules specified under Section 7
and Section 8 in the current document. The registry will only be created when a
designated expert is made available to assist IANA in the initiation of the
registry. Changes to the rules that are used to generate the table of derived
property values, and thus the registry itself, are done through IETF Review as
defined by RFC 5226.
QUESTION: Are the authors intended to get an DE before IESG Approval?
Pete Resnick is following up on this.
Second, IANA will create a new registry called the PRECIS Base Classes
Registry. This new registry has a registration template in the document
submitted for approval. Maintenance of the registry will be through RFC
Required, as defined in RFC 5226.
There are two initial registrations in the registry, as follows:
Base Class: FreeformClass.
Description: A sequence of letters, numbers, symbols, spaces, and
other code points that is used for free-form strings.
Specification: Section 3.3 of [ RFC-to-be ].
Base Class: IdentifierClass.
Description: A sequence of letters, numbers, and symbols that is
used to identify or address a network entity.
Specification: Section 3.3 of [ RFC-to-be ].
Correct, except the second instance of "Section 3.3" is incorrect in the
I-D and should be "Section 3.2".
Third, IANA will create a new registry called the PRECIS Profiles Registry.
This new registry has a registration template in the document submitted for
approval. Maintenance of the registry will be through Expert Review, as defined
in RFC 5226.
IANA Question -> Are there to be any initial registrations in the new PRECIS
Profiles Registry?
No. However, just so you are aware, registrations are forthcoming in the
following I-Ds:
draft-ietf-precis-nickname
draft-ietf-precis-saslprepbis
draft-ietf-xmpp-6122bis
IANA understands that these three actions are the only ones that need to be
completed upon approval of this document.
Agreed.
Note: The actions requested in this document will not be completed
until the document has been approved for publication as an RFC.
This message is only to confirm what actions will be performed.
Thanks,
Pearl Liang
Thank you, Pearl!
