[urn] URNbis document status

[John C Klensin <[e-mail]>]

Hi.

This is mostly to Andy and Peter, but the WG should be aware
that it has been sent.

>From the tracker and some additional information, we now have,
in no particular order:

(1) draft-ietf-urnbis-semantics-clarif-00, described in a note I
just sent:
	   Awaiting posting approval from Andy.  That approval
	should also tell the Secretariat to make it as replacing
	draft-ietf-urnbis-urns-are-not-uris (and the latter as
	being replaced).

(2) draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition-03:
	   Just posted with fairly minor changes.  While those
	changes are, I hope, improvements, the main reason from
	posting -03 was to prevent the draft from expiring this
	week.  Once we reach consensus on it (assuming we
	eventually do), it should be identified as having
	superceded draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc3044bis-issn-urn and
	draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc3187bis-isbn-urn).

(3) Definitions and syntax - 2141bis
(draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc2141bis-urn-07):
   Expired

(4) Namespace definition mechanisms - 3406bis
(draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc3406bis-urn-ns-reg-09):
   Expired.

(5) NBNs (draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc3188bis-nbn-urn-04):
	 Expired spring of 2013 (we all know why, but shouldn't
	lose track of this as a work item).

The last three are charter-identified documents, the other two
are mostly just procedural.  I hope we can see active versions
of at least (3) and (4) Real Soon Now, if only because it is a
little hard to work this way.

   best,
    john
