Re: [regext] Picking XML namespaces

Martin,

I was involved with the namespace feedback with the launch phase extension.  The agreement was to scope the namespaces for new extensions going forward if there was not a negative impact.  The org, orgext, and fee extensions that are going through the IESG now can support the scoping without impact, and have been scoped. The scoping of the namespace for changepoll does have a negative impact, so I am requesting to move forward with the urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:changePoll-1.0 namespace.

Thanks,

Jim
