Scott, Ok, let’s get a concrete example to see how this would work in a fictitious example of the “fictitious” extension: 1. A server decides to implement the “fictitious” RDAP extension first as a proprietary extension with the specifications fictitious-0.0.pdf and with an update with fictitious-0.1.pdf. a. Would the extension identifier be something like “providerFictitious00” and “providerFictitious01” since they are not IETF drafts yet? [SAH] They could be draftProviderFicticious00 and draftProviderFicticious01. 2. A server then decides to create a standard for the “fictitious” RDAP extension for “providerFictitious01” as an individual IETF draft with the name draft-author-regext-fictitious-00. a. Would the extension identifier be something like “draftFictitious00”? [SAH] No, it could become something like draftAuthorRegextFicticious00. Each specification gets a unique identifier. 3. What happens when the “fictitious” RDAP extension does a ping update or a bit update and it gets updated to draft-author-regext-fictitious-01? a. Does the extension identifier get bumped to “draftFictitious01”? [SAH] Yes, it could be bumped to draftAuthorRegextFicticious01. 4. The “fictitious” RDAP extension becomes a REGEXT working group document with the name draft-ietf-regext-fictitious-00, but with no other changes. a. Would the extension identifier go back to “draftFictitious00” or is there some separate value to reflect it has become a working group document, such as “draftRegextFictitious00”? [SAH] It could become draftIETFRegextFicticious00. 5. If the working group draft has 10 draft updates, does that result in 10 unique extension identifiers “draftRegextFictitious00” to “draftRegextFictitious10”)? [SAH] Yes, but your example would actually require 11 identifiers (0-10 -> 11 digits). 6. What is the final extension identifier set to in the IANA considerations section when the draft gets past WGLC? a. Does it become “fictitious1”? [SAH] Yes, it could.
