Many Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocols make use of
commonly defined values that are passed in messages or packets.  To
ensure consistent interpretation of these values between independent
implementations, there is a need to ensure that the values and
associated semantic intent are uniquely defined.  The IETF uses
registry functions to record assigned protocol parameter values and
their associated semantic intentions.  For each IETF protocol
parameter, it is current practice for the IETF to delegate the role
of Protocol Parameter Registry Operator to a nominated entity.  This
document provides a description of, and the requirements for, these
delegated functions. This document obsoletes RFC 6220 to replace all
references to the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) and
related structures with those defined by the IASA 2.0 Model.

This document is a product of the Internet Architecture Board.
