Re: [dispatch] Tiny update to RFC 3405

[Ben Campbell <[e-mail]>]

(as individual)

I believe Ted refers to the sentence that says "In order to be inserted into the URI.ARPA zone, the subsequent URI scheme MUST be registered under the IETF URI tree.”  The fact that the following sentence makes a now incorrect statement about the content of  [BCP35] does not mitigate the problem, nor does it change the MUST in the previous sentence.

So IMO, Ted is correct, there is a bug.

Ben.


So I agree with Ted’s interpretation that there is in fact a bug.

Since you obviously disagree with my proposal, having your alternative spelled in a draft does seem like the best way forward.  Wherever dispatch sends the question would then have two clear proposals to choose between.

If you submit a draft prior to the deadline, we can consider it along with Ted’s draft (either on the list or possibly in the IETF108 DISPATCH meeting).

Does anyone see a reason we shouldn’t just adopt it, with the expectation of going immediately to WGLC? (The last-call timeline is the same either way, either 2 weeks WGLC and 2 weeks IETF LC for a working group draft, or 4 weeks IETF LC for an AD sponsored draft.)

Basically, RFC 3405 used to require that registrations in URI.ARPA be from the "IETF Tree". That tree was deprecated after the document was published... As it happens, there are very few registrations in URI.ARPA, so we did not catch it and fix it before now.
