A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for Eurosystem Messaging
draft-bundesbank-eurosystem-namespace-03

[Ballot comment]
I support Ted's comment that it would be nice to have some note from the ECB stating that it's OK for DBB to be managing this URN namespace.  I'm not making this a DISCUSS because I assume that if there's a problem, the ECB and DBB will work it out and we can just update the registry to reflect whatever they agree to.

[Ballot comment]
I have no objection to the publication of this document or its contents.

I am however wondering whether this type of IANA allocation cannot be delegated rather than requiring IESG review and approval.

[Ballot comment]

- I'm surprised that you don't define a lexical equivalence
rule - there is a long history of authorization/access
control failures based on such ambiguity. I assume there are
(or will be) eurosystem-specific rules for this, and if there
are already then referencing those here would be good in case
someone reads this RFC and writes code that makes bad
assumptions. If those rules don't yet exist but will, then
maybe say so, and provide whatever hint you can as to how a
reader of the RFC can go find them. Or, define them if you
can and just say that two URNs are only considered equivalent
if they contain exactly the same octets.

- p5 says that "there is no support for query instructions" -
it'd maybe be better if that and similar bits of text said
e.g.  "query strings MUST NOT be used as part of 'eurosystem'
URNs" or similar. As written someone might claim that
'urn:eurosystem:foo?bar=baz' is valid, and I'm not sure if
you want that or not.  (Same for fragments.) If you do take
the approach I suggest then you may need to add a reference
to RFC 2119. Having said that, I'm not really sure what's
right here, and would expect that others (the "URI police":-)
would have better/stronger opinions.

[Ballot comment]
I assume that we have some formal statement from the ECB or ECSB affirming that the Bundesbank is acting on their behalf here?  Of course it's absurd to think that they would mislead us, but it might be a nice thing to have for future reference.

IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

IANA has reviewed draft-bundesbank-eurosystem-namespace-02.  Authors should review the comments and/or questions below.  Please report any inaccuracies and respond to any questions as soon as possible.

IANA's reviewer has the following comments/questions:

IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, there is a single action which IANA must complete.

In the Formal URN Namespaces sub-registry of the Uniform Resource Names (URN) Namespaces registry at

http://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-namespaces/

a new namespace will be registered as follows:

URN Namespace: eurosystem
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

IANA understands that this is the only action required to be completed upon approval of this document.

Note:  The actions requested in this document will not be completed until the document has been approved for publication as an RFC. This message is only to confirm what actions will be performed.

1. Summary

Barry Leiba is the responsible AD and document shepherd.

This is a straightforward document that defines and registers a URN
namespace that is managed by Deutsche Bundesbank.  The urnbis working
group is in the process of changing the registration procedures for
Formal URN Namespaces, but for now, they require IETF review.  This
is, therefore, an Informational document in the IETF stream.

2. Review and Consensus

The authors posted a review request to urn-nid@ietf.org, as required by
the registration procedures.  SM and Alfred Hönes provided comments,
which the authors addressed.  That version got "ready" comments from Ted
Hardie and Peter Saint-Andre.  That's an entirely adequate level of
review for this sort of minor registration document, and so we're off to
the races.

3. Intellectual Property

Both authors are in compliance with BCPs 78 and 79, and there is no
IPR associated with this document.

4. Other Points

None.

Subject: Last Call:  (A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for Eurosystem Messaging) to Informational RFC


The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider
the following document:
- 'A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for Eurosystem Messaging'
  as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-12-06. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


  This document defines and registers with IANA a Uniform Resource Name
  (URN) namespace that is managed by Deutsche Bundesbank (member of
  ESCB) for usage within messages standardized by the Eurosystem.

Discussion

  This draft version is submitted for formal urn-nid Expert Review
  according to the procedures specified in RFC 3406 for a Formal NID
  application.

  Comments should be sent to the urn-nid@ietf.org mailing list and
  copied to the document editors at the 'role' email address given in
  the Authors Section.

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
