Hi Melvin,

The current IANA URI Schemes registry includes the following
three schemes:

irc prov/irc <http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/irc> irc [
Dave_Thaler
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml#Dave_Thaler>]
irc6 prov/irc6 <http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/irc6> irc6
[Dave_Thaler
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml#Dave_Thaler>]
ircs prov/ircs <http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/ircs> ircs
[Dave_Thaler
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml#Dave_Thaler>]
All three of those are September 2012 provisional registrations
(with references that include butcher and draft-mirashi-url-irc-01).

Cheers,
- Ira
