For an informational only thing that seems like a lot of overhead. I'm also not very sure that IETF participants would really want to review yet another block-chain based name resolution system every N weeks… > Any other option will require some designated experts with some guidance > for those DEs, and I'd expect it to be hard for us to agree what guidance > to include in the draft or not, and I'd expect it to be hard to find DEs > for this registry. > Yup, that's a valid concern - IANA's site speaketh thusly: "If you choose Expert Review or Specification Required as the registration procedure for your new registry, it can be helpful to provide guidance to the “expert.” The idea is to provide the expert with guidance on naming, allocation and other issues related to the protocol registry. Sometimes Internet-Draft authors include the guidance directly in the draft. Other times, a Working Group will decide to collect guidance for a group of protocols together (for instance, see the PWE3 working group in RFC 4446)." — https://www.iana.org/help/protocol-registration I'd think that the guidance to the experts would be: 1: Is there a specification somewhere? RFC8126 (Spec Required) says that a specification should be a "document can reasonably be expected to be findable and retrievable long after IANA assignment of the requested value." 2: Does it list a name that they'd be using? Great, done! [ insert the Oprah Winfrey "You get a registration and you get a registration" meme here — https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/oprahs-you-get-a-car ]. It is intended to be an informational registry to help people avoid conflicts, and potentially also figure out what to read to know more about foo.alt - IMO they can be handed out like candy. It's better to have it easy for people to get added than just squat… The current IANA Considerations bit says "Expert Review" or "IESG Approval" — the second bit is specifically incase there are issues with getting DEs… > That said, I'd still be ok with progressing the draft if the registration > rules stayed as they are now. > Thank you - the registry is something I've gone back and forth on, because there are pros and cons… W > Cheers, > S. >
