Hi Mark, I want to argue that the name "ecips" is precise enough. The new RFC5785bis really didn't say anything about requested names cannot be too short. > Registered names for a specific application SHOULD be correspondingly > precise; “squatting” on generic terms is not encouraged. I do hope we can use the name "ecips" as is because there're already aggregators (like this https://github.com/tzdybal/hunter-gatherer) written based on it. However, if you think this is really not okay, I'm open to consider changing it. -- Wei Mark Nottingham writes: > Hello Wei, > > Apologies for the delay; I was waiting for RFC5785 to be approved before moving forward on some registrations. > > From RFC5785bis: > >> Registered names for a specific application SHOULD be correspondingly precise; “squatting” on generic terms is not encouraged. For example, if the Example application wants a well-known location for metadata, an appropriate registered name might be “example-metadata” or even “example.com-metadata”, not “metadata”. > > Your requested name is not a common word, but it is a bit short.
