The IESG has received a request from the Revise Universally Unique Identifier
Definitions WG (uuidrev) to consider the following document: - 'Universally
Unique IDentifiers (UUID)'
  <draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bis-08.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-08-08. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   This specification defines the UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifiers)
   and the UUID Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace.  UUIDs are also
   known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifiers).  A UUID is 128 bits
   long and is intended to guarantee uniqueness across space and time.
   UUIDs were originally used in the Apollo Network Computing System and
   later in the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing
   Environment (DCE), and then in Microsoft Windows platforms.

   This specification is derived from the DCE specification with the
   kind permission of the OSF (now known as The Open Group).
   Information from earlier versions of the DCE specification have been
   incorporated into this document.  This document obsoletes RFC4122.
