How is the IMEI URN validated when presented?  I suspect that one of the RFC references says, but if so you should indicate that this question will be answered by reading the referenced RFC.

[Ballot discuss]

I do think this draft is trying to say all the right
things, but there are a few discuss points I'd like to
chat about. Some related to wording and some where I may
be just confused (which happens easily:-)

(1) (This is the same as a discuss point for the other
GSMA doc and can be resolved identically.) "loosely
correlated to a user" seems like its trying to hide that
IMEIs are PII. And "messages intended to convey any level
on anonymity" is not meaningful - what does that really
mean when you look at it? (I suspect that might just be
unfortunate phrasing from IETF LC discussion.) I suggest
you simply state that "almost all IMEIs are almost always
PII and so these URNs MUST be treated as PII in all
cases."

(2) Section 5 is the key for me here saying that a UAC
ought only send this when registering with a 3gpp ims
n/w. How does a UAC know when that is happening, vs. when
the UAC is registering with some other n/w? Are there any
weird b2bua cases here btw?

(3) Should you state somewhere that a UAS (or maybe
others too) SHOULD NOT log the instance ID, or if they
do, that they need to protect that as PII?  I'm not sure
if sip.instance is normally logged nor how such log
entries are usually treated.

(4) Other than TLS, what security mechanism can really be
used for protecting these instance IDs?  If there is none
(that is credible), then wouldn't it be better to leave
out the "or" bit since that way the UAC can enforce TLS,
whereas as is you are forcing the UAC to have a non-TLS
option which is probably what'll always get used and
maybe will be all that's implemented? (Is that fair? If
not, apologies:-)

[Ballot comment]

- s5, 2nd para: "A UAC MUST only..." would maybe be
better stated using "MUST NOT... when its not a 3gpp ims
n/w"?

- s7: ref [8] in .doc form crashes libreoffice on me
which is a pity:-( In any case, I think that the
"obfuscation" is just a call to sha-1, is that right?  I
think I'd like if it were better but I guess there's
nothing practical that can be done about that now, is
that correct?

Abstract


  This specification specifies how the Uniform Resource Name (URN)
  reserved for the GSMA (GSM Association) identities and its sub-
  namespace for the IMEI (International Mobile station Equipment
  Identity) can be used as an instance-id.  Its purpose is to fulfil
  the requirements in RFC 5626 [1] that state "If a URN scheme other
  than UUID (Universally unique identifier) is used, the UA (User
  Agent) MUST only use URNs for which an RFC (from the IETF stream)
  defines how the specific URN needs to be constructed and used in the
  "+sip.instance" Contact header field parameter for outbound
  behavior."
