This message constitutes a request for review of the proposed 'acct' URI scheme, specified in draft-ietf-appsawg-acct-uri-02. The completed registration template follows (copied from the IANA Considerations of the aforementioned I-D). Peter ### 4. IANA Considerations In accordance with the guidelines and registration procedures for new URI schemes [RFC4395], this section provides the information needed to register the 'acct' URI scheme. 4.1. URI Scheme Name acct 4.2. Status permanent 4.3. URI Scheme Syntax The 'acct' URI syntax is defined here in Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234], borrowing the 'host', 'pct-encoded', 'sub-delims', 'unreserved' rules from [RFC3986]: acctURI = "acct" ":" userpart "@" host userpart = 1*( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) 4.4. URI Scheme Semantics The 'acct' URI scheme identifies accounts hosted at service providers. It is used only for identification, not interaction. A protocol that employs the 'acct' URI scheme is responsible for specifying how an 'acct' URI is dereferenced in the context of that protocol. There is no media type associated with the 'acct' URI scheme. 4.5. Encoding Considerations The 'acct' URI scheme allows any character from the Unicode repertoire [UNICODE] encoded as UTF-8 [RFC3629] and then percent- encoded into valid ASCII [RFC20] as specified in [RFC3986]. Note that domain labels need to be encoded as A-labels (see [RFC5890]) in order to support internationalized domain names (IDNs). 4.6. Applications/Protocols That Use This URI Scheme Name At the time of this writing, only the WebFinger protocol uses the 'acct' URI scheme. However, use is not restricted to the WebFinger protocol, and the scheme might be considered for use in other protocols, such as Simple Web Discovery. 4.7. Interoperability Considerations There are no known interoperability concerns related to use of the 'acct' URI scheme. 4.8. Security Considerations See Section 5 of RFCXXXX. [Note to RFC Editor: please replace XXXX with the number issued to this document.] 4.9. Contact Peter Saint-Andre, psaintan@cisco.com 4.10. Author/Change Controller This scheme is registered under the IETF tree. As such, the IETF maintains change control. 4.11. References None. ###
