Hi Esko, As per Section 5.1, the registry has a policy of "Specification Required", defined in RFC5226: """ Specification Required - Values and their meanings must be documented in a permanent and readily available public specification, in sufficient detail so that interoperability between independent implementations is possible. When used, Specification Required also implies use of a Designated Expert, who will review the public specification and evaluate whether it is sufficiently clear to allow interoperable implementations. The intention behind "permanent and readily available" is that a document can reasonably be expected to be findable and retrievable long after IANA assignment of the requested value. Publication of an RFC is an ideal means of achieving this requirement, but Specification Required is intended to also cover the case of a document published outside of the RFC path. For RFC publication, the normal RFC review process is expected to provide the necessary review for interoperability, though the Designated Expert may be a particularly well-qualified person to perform such a review.

Such as "The Thread specification 1.x as defined by Thread Group, accessible to members, 2016" would be the reference. On the other hand all current entries seem to point to public specifications by URL though this is not strictly required according to the RFC. > > best regards, > > Esko Dijk > Senior scientist / Connectivity architect > Philips Lighting Research > > High Tech Campus 34, 5656 AE Eindhoven, The Netherlands > Tel: +31 6 55408986, Email: esko.dijk@philips.com > www.research.philips.com > > > The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.
