The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'URN Namespace Definition Mechanisms' <draft-ietf-urn-nid-req-08.txt> as a BCP. This document is the product of the Uniform Resource Names Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Keith Moore and Patrik Faltstrom. Technical Summary This document describes a procedure for registering namespaces to be used in Uniform Resource Names. Working Group Summary There was extensive discussion about these issues in the working group until these rules could be settled on, but the working group had consensus on this set of rules. Protocol Quality If they are followed, these rules will be adequate to ensure proper assignment of namespaces and global uniqueness of URNs. Keith Moore reviewed the specification for IESG.
