David,

thanks for the Gen-ART review [1] you have performed on our draft, and our
apologies for the delay in responding to it.

We have been surprised by your concerns regarding the application for a
Formal URN Namespace, which we'd have expected being raised by someone
during the two stages of URN-NID Expert Review the draft has undergone
since August 2013.  Apparently, the URN experts
active on the urn-nid list did not share your concerns.

The (prospective) 'eurosystem' URN Namespace is modeled after the very
similar 'swift' Formal URN namespace registered per RFC 3615, and there
have been allocated quite a couple of other Formal URN Namespaces to
national institutions and international treaty organizations, which seem to
have similar usage profiles; we are not aware of similar arguments having
been raised against the allocation of these Formal URN Namespaces.

'eurosystem' URNs will be used together with already standardized URNs, in
particular ISO Std 20022 URNs; it is important for their use that the role
of these URNs and the authority behind these URNs be easily and clearly
identified, and be at a perceived "equivalent" standards level -- parallel
to the 'swift' URNs that are managed by an older international treaty
organization with similar purpose but smaller scope and less consumer
friendly targets (regarding timeliness of transaction execution and cost
effectiveness). Therefore, an Informal URN Namespace would not meet the
target objectives of the supporting countries and financial institutions.

Admittedly, it is true that, at the first stage of usage of the
'eurosystem' namespace, the mass production use of the assigned URNs will
be contained in messages carried in cryptographic digital envelopes or
Vitual Private Networks.  However, the transparency requirements (needed
for establishing and maintaining public trust into the subject financial
transaction systems), open software development processes, and software
deployment require the origin and authority for the URNs to be easily
identified, and the URNs to be resolved on the public Internet.
Therefore we claim that a Formal URN Namespace is warranted for the
intended purpose.

We will confer with the sponsoring AD on possible amendments to the
Community Considerations in our draft. (Based on previous feedback, this
section has been kept relatively short and concise.)

Kind regards,
Miriam
