Re: C=US; A=IMX: draft-ietf-x400ops-admd-03.txt -- (ID for review)

[Einar Stefferud <[e-mail]>]

I just posted the full text of the latest revision of our A-IMX draft.

I contains a few significant changes.

For one, it prohibits use of any PRMD name the might conflict with any
current or future DNS name that ends with a dot (.) followed by any
number of DNS allowed characters.  This change was triggered by
recognition that this draft cannot be adopted if it implies that the
DNS must forever be limited to any specific number of characters in
the top level domains.  It is not the place of this draft to specify
such a restriction, thus this change was required.

Other changes are more or less minor, to clean up some grammar, etc.
None are significant.

However, I urge everyone to read the entire draft very carefully and
give this draft a final complete review prior to (hopefully) adoption
in Houston at the last X400ops meeting.

I do not expect this draft to be posted in the /internet-drafts/
directories before the IETF meetings, so I hope someone can extract it
and make copies for the meeting review.  It should also be added to
the X400ops document store, if one exists for this meeting.

I regret not being able to attend this IETF, but the IETF Secretariat
chose to meet in conflict with my EMail World Conference and Expo, so
I will not be there.

Cheers...\Stef

} Abstract
} 
}   This document establishes an Internet Based X.400 Administrative
}   Management Domain (ADMD) with the name "A=IMX", for use in the
}   United States of America (C=US), according to the applicable rules
}   of CCITT Recommendations and ISO Standards, and in keeping with
}   existing regulatory practices in the United States of America.  It
}   also establishes a naming authority under the Internet Assigned
}   Numbers Authority (IANA) to register and openly publish Private
}   Management Domain (PRMD) names subordinate to A=IMX under C=US.
} 
}   The name "IMX is registered with the American National Standards
}   Institute (ANSI) MHS Management Domain (MHSMD) register as is
}   appropriate for names that are to be used as ADMD names in the
}   United States of America (c=US).
} 
}   Any chosen C=US ADMD name is a matter of arbitrary choice as long as
}   it does not conflict with any other choice of ADMD name by any other
}   ADMD Service Provider operating in association with C=US.
}   Registration of IMX as the ADMD name for the Internet in C=US will
}   serve to avoid any possible name collision, and will enable Internet
}   PRMD operators to obtain and register PRMD names for use with X.400.
} 
}   NOTE: Other countries may or may not take similar actions, at their
}         sovereign discretion.  How C=US and other Internet based ADMD
}         operations in other countries should or should not be
}         coordinated is not addressed in this document.
