[urn] Re: Request for Registration of CTS namespace

[[e-mail]]

That is good and helpful to know. Thank you.

The more involved IANA or IETF is in the described process, the better.

DFG is looking for sustainability in the proposals, so from our perspective it is beneficial to "offload" as much responsibility as possible onto an external established authority.

The context of my arguments was that we wanted to avoid asking too much of you.

Best Regards

At least from the IETF's point of view, or actually IANA's point of
view, having each project register directly with IANA is not burdensome.

Compare with the "private enterpise number" registry. There are 66,000+
registrations to date
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers/" rel="nofollow">https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers/), but each has
been registered using a simple web form
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers/assignment/apply/" rel="nofollow">https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers/assignment/apply/).
