Hi,

I think this draft needs media type registrations for .mft and .roa. .cer and .crl are already in RFC 2585. I think it needs media type registration because every other draft I've ever seen that specifies a file extension does so. RFC 2585 specifies .cer and .crl and they're in a media type registration. Also, I got the impression that the repository draft can be done in other ways and a media type would support other profiles of the repository.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4288 outlines the registration procedures. We'll be in the application/* tree so it's standard tree and the procedures are:

 Proposed registrations in the standards tree by other standards
 bodies should be communicated to the IESG (at [email protected]) and to
 the ietf-types list (at [email protected]).

During IETF LC make sure to ask the AD to copy [email protected]. Here's some suggested text for Section 7:

7. IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to register the following two media types:

   application/rpki-manifest
   application/rpki-roa

   This document also uses the .cer and .crl file extensions from
   application/pkix-cert and application/pkix-crl media registries
   defined in [RFC2585].

7.1. application/rpki-manifest

   MIME media type name: application

   MIME subtype name: rpki-manifest

   Required parameters: None

   Optional parameters: None

   Encoding considerations: binary

   Security considerations:

      Carries a RPKI Manifest [I-D.ietf-sidr-rpki-manifests]

   Interoperability considerations: None

   Published specification: This document

   Applications which use this media type: Any MIME-complaint transport

   Additional information:
     Magic number(s): None
     File extension(s): .mft
     Macintosh File Type Code(s):

   Person & email address to contact for further information:
     Geoff Huston <[email protected]>

   Intended usage: COMMON

   Author/Change controller:
     Geoff Huston <[email protected]>

7.2. application/rpki-roa

   MIME media type name: application

   MIME subtype name: rpki-roa

   Required parameters: None

   Optional parameters: None

   Encoding considerations: binary

   Security considerations:

      Carries a RPKI ROA [ID.ietf-sidr-roa-format]

   Interoperability considerations: None

   Published specification: This document

   Applications which use this media type: Any MIME-complaint transport

   Additional information:
     Magic number(s): None
     File extension(s): .roa
     Macintosh File Type Code(s):

   Person & email address to contact for further information:
     Geoff Huston <[email protected]>

   Intended usage: COMMON

   Author/Change controller:
     Geoff Huston <[email protected]>

Will also need to add a normative reference to the roa draft and to RFC 2585.
