[apps-discuss] Last Call summary on draft-yevstifeyev-tn3270-uri

[Mykyta Yevstifeyev <[e-mail]>]

Hello all,

This message summarizes the Last Call on draft-yevstifeyev-tn3270-uri 
(http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-yevstifeyev-tn3270-uri-13.txt).

Firstly, some statistical information.  The Last Call was requested by 
Peter Saint-Andre on 4 January, 2011 and was announced on 4 January, 
2011.  The Last Call ends on 1 February, 2011.  The LC announcement has 
been sent out to IETF Discussion, uri-review and [e-mail] mailing 
lists.  A number of comments have been received during the Last Call.  
The most current version - 13 - I have just uploaded is believed to 
resolve them.  Moreover, a number of improvements have been made to 
improve the document quality.

Secondly, here is the exhaustive list of differences between the 12 
version and 13 version.

/Intended status/ - did not change: Informational;

/Title/ - changed.  Was *The 'tn3270' Uniform Resource Identifier 
Scheme* and now is *The 'tn3270' Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) 
Scheme*.  I'm asking Peter to change the write0up in accordance to this.

/Abstract/ - did not change;

/Introduction/ - changed.  Added the RFC 2119 boilerplate (now used 
throughout the document); added the reference to IANA registry; 
clarified the purpose of the document; some other minor changes.

/Scheme definition/ - changed.  Splitted the designated service into 
Telnet 3270 and Telnet 3270 Enchanted, added the reference to IBM 
Publication GA23-0059, related to 3270 data stream; added the reference 
to RFC 3049, related to TN3270E; clarified the URI syntax, as follows.  Was:
> The 'tn3270' URI takes the following form (given in ABNF, as
>     described inRFC 5234  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234>  [RFC5234  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234>]):
>
>     tn3270uri = "tn3270:" "//" authority ["/"]
>
>     The 'authority' rule is defined inRFC 3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>  [RFC3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>]. The final
>     character "/" can be omitted.
>

Now:

>    The 'tn3270' URI takes the following form (given in ABNF, as
>     described inRFC 5234  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234>  [RFC5234  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234>]):
>
>     tn3270uri = "tn3270:" hier-part
>     hier-part = "//" authority ["/"]
>                 ;the URI takes the form
>                 ;tn3270://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/
>                 ;that is formally defined via the 'authority'
>
>     The 'authority' rule is specified inRFC 3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>  [RFC3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>].  If 'port'
>     (in the 'authority' part) is omitted, it SHALL default to 21.  The
>     final character "/" MAY be omitted.

/Security Considerations/ - changed.  Clarified why there are no other 
security considerations for 'tn3270' scheme other than the 'telnet' one has.

/IANA Considerations/ - changed.  added the reference to RFC 4395; 
changed the description of protocol, that uses the scheme in accordance 
with Section 2; changed the Contact and author to IESG and IETF, 
respectively.

/References/ - RFC 4395 is now Informative; added the references to RFC 
3049, IANA registry and IBM Publication GA23-0059.

/Acknowledgments/ - corrected the typographical mistake in the last name 
of Alfred Hoenes.

/Author's addresses/ - changed, clarified the address.

Lastly, during the LC the document was reviewed by IANA, GenART and 
OPS-DIR Review Team.  I'm citing their reviews.

IANA:
> IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, there is a single
> Action that IANA needs to complete.
>
> In the URI schemes registry located at:
>
> http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html
>
> in the Provisional URI Schemes section, the follow registration will be
> added:
>
> URI Scheme: tn3270
> Description: TN3270 Telnet Service
> Reference: [RFC-to-be]
>
> IANA understands that this is the only action required upon approval of
> this document.

The most current version is believed to resolve all the comments received.

No changes are intended to be made up to the end of the LC.  This 
message is to allow the IESG to preliminarily review the doc.

Looking forward for the decision of IESG,
