(BEGIN IANA LAST CALL COMMENTS)

IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

IANA has reviewed draft-ietf-paws-protocol-14.  Authors should review the comments and/or questions below.  Please report any inaccuracies and respond to any questions as soon as possible.

IANA has a question for one of the requested actions in this draft document.

We received the following comments/questions from the IANA's reviewer:

IANA understands that, upon approval of this document there are three actions which IANA must complete.

IANA understands that this document proposes the creation of a PAWS protocol registry which will initially consist of three subregistries:

- the PAWS Ruleset ID Registry
- the PAWS Parameter Registry
- the PAWS Error Code Registry

On the IANA Matrix located at:

http://www.iana.org/protocols

the new PAWS registry will be linked with a reference of [ RFC-to-be ].

In the new PAWS registry there will be three sub-registries as follows:

First, in the PAWS Registry created above, a new registry called the PAWS Ruleset ID Registry will be created.  Each entry in the registry has a ruleset name, additional parameter requirements and a specification.

New entires in this registry are done through Specification Required as defined in RFC 5226.

There are two initial entries in this new registry as follows:

Ruleset identifier:  FccTvBandWhiteSpace-2010
Specification:  This ruleset refers to the FCC rules for TV-band White Space operations established in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 47, Part 15, Subpart H.
Additional Parameter Requirements for FccTvBandWhiteSpace-2010:

QUESTION/Note:  
1) It appears that this document defines multiple tables for Additional Parameter 
Requirements for each Ruleset ID entry in the new requested sub-registry "PAWS 
Ruleset ID Registry" of the new created PAWS protocol registry.  How do the authors 
want the registration information presented in the namespace (aka website)?  
You can visit the following registry that shows a list of sub-registries for iSCSI 
Parameters, and more sub-registries under a sub-registry "iSCSI Login Response 
Status Codes":

http://www.iana.org/assignments/iscsi-parameters 

2) We understand that "Specification document(s)" is the column for Reference.

Second, in the PAWS Registry created above, a new registry called the PAWS Parameter Registry will be created.  Each entry in the registry has a parameter name, parameter usage location and a specification.


New entires in this registry are done through Specification Required as defined in RFC 5226.

There are seven initial entries in this new registry as follows:

Parameter name:  fccId
Parameter usage location:  DeviceDescriptor
Specification document(s):  [ RFC-to-be ]
   
Parameter name:  fccTvbdDeviceType
Parameter usage location:  DeviceDescriptor
Specification document(s):  [ RFC-to-be ]
   
Parameter name:  etsiEnDeviceType
Parameter usage location:  DeviceDescriptor
Specification document(s):  Specifies the White Space Device type, as defined by the ETSI Harmonized Standard - [ http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301598/01.01.01_60/en_301598v010101p.pdf ]
   
Parameter name:  etsiEnDeviceEmissionsClass
Parameter usage location:  DeviceDescriptor
Specification document(s):  Specifies the White Space Device emissions class, as defined by the ETSI Harmonized Standard - [ http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301598/01.01.01_60/en_301598v010101p.pdf ]
   
Parameter name:  etsiEnTechnologyId
Parameter usage location:  DeviceDescriptor
Specification document(s):  Specifies the White Space Device technology identifier, as defined by the ETSI Harmonized Standard - [ http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301598/01.01.01_60/en_301598v010101p.pdf ]
   
Parameter name:  etsiEnDeviceCategory
Parameter usage location:  DeviceDescriptor
Specification document(s):  Specifies the White Space Device category, as defined by the ETSI Harmonized Standard - [ http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301598/01.01.01_60/en_301598v010101p.pdf ]
   
Parameter name:  etsiEnSimultaneousChannelOperationRestriction
Parameter usage location:  SpectrumSpec
Specification document(s):  Specifies the constraint on the device maximum total EIRP, as defined by the ETSI Harmonized Standard - [ http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301598/01.01.01_60/en_301598v010101p.pdf ]

Third, in the PAWS Registry created above, a new registry called the PAWS Error Code Registry will be created.  Each entry in the registry has an error code, name, description, additional parameters and reference

New entries in this registry are done through Specification Required as defined in RFC 5226.

There are new entries in this subregistry, all with a reference of [ RFC-to-be ], as follows:

Code   Name             Description & Additional parameters
------ ---------------- ---------------------------------------------
32767 to 1            Unassigned
0      (reserved)
-100   (reserved)
-101   VERSION          The Database does not support the specified
                        version of the message.
-102   UNSUPPORTED      The Database does not support the Device. For
                        example, it does not support the ruleset
                        specified in the request.
-103   UNIMPLEMENTED    The Database does not implement the optional
                        request or optional feature.
-104   OUTSIDE_COVERAGE The specified geo-location is outside the
                        coverage area of the Database. The Database
                        MAY include a DbUpdateSpec
                        parameter to provide a list of alternate
                        databases that might be appropriate for the
                        requested location. See OUTSIDE_COVERAGE
                        Error for more details.
-105   DATABASE_CHANGE  The Database has changed its URI. The
                        Database MAY include a DbUpdateSpec
                        parameter in the error response
                        to provide devices with one or more alternate
                        database URIs. The Device needs to use the
                        information to update its list of
                        preconfigured databases to replace (only) its
                        entry for the responding Database with the
                        list of alternate database URIs. See
                        DATABASE_CHANGE Error for
                        more details.
-200   (reserved)
-201   MISSING          A required parameter is missing. The Database
                        MUST include a list of the required parameter
                        names. The Database MAY include only names of
                        parameters that are missing, but MAY include
                        a full list. Including the full list of
                        missing parameters may reduce the number of
                        re-queries from the Device. See MISSING Error
                        for more details.
-202   INVALID_VALUE    A parameter value is invalid in some way. The
                        Database SHOULD include a message indicating
                        which parameter and why its value is invalid.
-300   (reserved)
-301   UNAUTHORIZED     The Device is not authorized to used the
                        Database. Authorization may be determined by
                        the ruleset or be dependent on prior
                        arrangement between the Device and Database.
-302   NOT_REGISTERED   Device registration required, but the Device
                        is not registered.
-32000 (reserved)       Reserved for JSON-RPC error codes.
