Hi. I just looked back through the template in draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc3406bis-urn-ns-reg-06 in the light of the WG discussion this morning. The template description is now over four pages long and some of the suggestions made this morning will probably make it longer. That is pretty scary; it asks for enough information be copied into the template and handed to IANA to probably be seen as a barrier to registration in some quarters. Recommendations: (1) When the "instructions to Expert Reviewer" material is added, be clear about what is required and what is merely expected. Then reflect that in the sections of the template itself. (2) Number or otherwise identify the sections of the template to make references and cross-references convenient. That will, fwiw, keep this document from running afoul of some possibly-pending RFC Editor style rules. (3) Create an internal table of contents for the template itself. (4) Explicitly permit most sections of the template to be incorporated by reference to a stable external specification (stable by at least the "Specification Required" definition, not just the RFC Editor one) or by a mixture of text and such a reference. By explicit about which ones cannot (I think the first three sections need to be present in the template itself). Let's not make this any harder than it absolutely needs to be. See next note about "Enhanced Expert Review". best, john
