[Sidrops] Request early IANA code point assignment for draft-ietf-sidrops-rpki-prefixlist

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Warren:

RFC 7120 provide four conditions for early code point assignment:

   a.  The code points must be from a space designated as "RFC
       Required", "IETF Review", or "Standards Action".  Additionally,
       requests for early assignment of code points from a
       "Specification Required" registry are allowed if the
       specification will be published as an RFC.

   b.  The format, semantics, processing, and other rules related to
       handling the protocol entities defined by the code points
       (henceforth called "specifications") must be adequately described
       in an Internet-Draft.

   c.  The specifications of these code points must be stable; i.e., if
       there is a change, implementations based on the earlier and later
       specifications must be seamlessly interoperable.

   d.  The Working Group chairs and Area Directors (ADs) judge that
       there is sufficient interest in the community for early (pre-RFC)
       implementation and deployment, or that failure to make an early
       allocation might lead to contention for the code point in the
       field.

draft-ietf-sidrops-rpki-prefixlist meets all of these requirements.

   a.  The registry in question is https://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers/smi-numbers.xhtml#security-smime-1
        The registry allocation rule is  "Specification Required".

   b.  The format, semantics, processing, and other rules related to
        the content-type are in the Internet-Draft.

   c.  Several people want to implement the Internet-Draft.

   d.  The Working Group chairs judge that there is sufficient interest.

As the AD for the SIDRops WG, please request early assignment by IANA.
