IANA Registry for Sieve Actions
draft-ietf-extra-sieve-action-registry-06

Request for Last Call review by ARTART Completed: Ready with Nits. Reviewer: Yoshiro Yoneya. Sent review to list. Submission of review completed at an earlier date.

[Ballot discuss]
A registry is surely very useful. Currently, all entries are based on RFCs. Is it the intention of this RFC to change that practice by setting the registry policy to Expert Review? It seems more appropriate to set the policy to RFC Required.

[Ballot comment]
Hi,

This document looks helpful, so thank you for this.  No technical comments on the content.  It does look like quite a few lines in the table are longer than I understood to be allowed in an text formatted RFC, but presumably the RFC editor will sort that out if needed.

Regards,
Rob

# Éric Vyncke, INT AD, comments for draft-ietf-extra-sieve-action-registry-05
CC @evyncke

Thank you for the work put into this document.

Please find below one blocking DISCUSS points (trivial to address), some non-blocking COMMENT points, and some nits.

Special thanks to Bron Gondwana for the shepherd's detailed write-up including the WG consensus and the justification of the intended status (but see my DISCUSS below).

I hope that this review helps to improve the document,

Regards,

-éric


## DISCUSS

As noted in https://www.ietf.org/blog/handling-iesg-ballot-positions/, a DISCUSS ballot is a request to have a discussion on the following topics:

### Intended status

The I-D text says "Informational" while the meta-data and the shepherd's review say "proposed standard".

[Ballot comment]
## COMMENTS

### Section 1

Suggest to remove irony and use plain English in `that can interact with each other in wonderful and complex ways` (note, the use of irony was a guess of mine).

### Appendix A

Who is the 'TBD' to be acknowledged ? ;-) Just remove the section.


## NITS

### Section 2.1

Unsure whether `Designated Expert` should be capitalised.

(Via drafts-lastcall@iana.org): IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

The IANA Functions Operator has completed its review of draft-ietf-extra-sieve-action-registry-04. If any part of this review is inaccurate, please let us know.

We have a question about the action requested in the IANA Considerations section of this document.

We understand that, upon approval of this document, there is a single action that we must complete.

A new registry is to be created called the Sieve Actions registry.

IANA Question --> Where should this new registry be located? Should it be added to an existing registry page? If it needs a new page, does it also need a new category at http://www.iana.org/protocols (and if so, should the page and the category have the same name)?

The registration policy for the new registry is Expert Review as defined in RFC 8126. There are initial registrations in the new registry as listed in Section 2.2 of this document.

The IANA Functions Operator 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 meant only to confirm the list of actions that will be performed.

For definitions of IANA review states, please see:

# Document Shepherd Write-Up for Group Documents

*This version is dated 4 July 2022.*

Thank you for your service as a document shepherd. Among the responsibilities is
answering the questions in this write-up to give helpful context to Last Call
and Internet Engineering Steering Group ([IESG][1]) reviewers, and your
diligence in completing it is appreciated. The full role of the shepherd is
further described in [RFC 4858][2]. You will need the cooperation of the authors
and editors to complete these checks.

Note that some numbered items contain multiple related questions; please be sure
to answer all of them.

## Document History

1. Does the working group (WG) consensus represent the strong concurrence of a
  few individuals, with others being silent, or did it reach broad agreement?

Strong consensus.

2. Was there controversy about particular points, or were there decisions where
  the consensus was particularly rough?

No controversy.

3. Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If
  so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
  responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
  questionnaire is publicly available.)

No.

4. For protocol documents, are there existing implementations of the contents of
  the document? Have a significant number of potential implementers indicated
  plans to implement? Are any existing implementations reported somewhere,
  either in the document itself (as [RFC 7942][3] recommends) or elsewhere
  (where)?

This isn't a protocol, just creating a registry of existing documents.  The
working group agrees that it's complete.

## Additional Reviews

5. Do the contents of this document closely interact with technologies in other
  IETF working groups or external organizations, and would it therefore benefit
  from their review? Have those reviews occurred? If yes, describe which
  reviews took place.

No.

6. Describe how the document meets any required formal expert review criteria,
  such as the MIB Doctor, YANG Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.

No formal reviews required.

7. If the document contains a YANG module, has the final version of the module
  been checked with any of the [recommended validation tools][4] for syntax and
  formatting validation? If there are any resulting errors or warnings, what is
  the justification for not fixing them at this time? Does the YANG module
  comply with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as specified
  in [RFC 8342][5]?

No YANG.

8. Describe reviews and automated checks performed to validate sections of the
  final version of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code,
  BNF rules, MIB definitions, CBOR's CDDL, etc.

Nothing to automatically check.

## Document Shepherd Checks

9. Based on the shepherd's review of the document, is it their opinion that this
  document is needed, clearly written, complete, correctly designed, and ready
  to be handed off to the responsible Area Director?

Yes, it's ready.

10. Several IETF Areas have assembled [lists of common issues that their
    reviewers encounter][6]. For which areas have such issues been identified
    and addressed? For which does this still need to happen in subsequent
    reviews?

This document doesn't have any such issues.

11. What type of RFC publication is being requested on the IETF stream ([Best
    Current Practice][12], [Proposed Standard, Internet Standard][13],
    [Informational, Experimental or Historic][14])? Why is this the proper type
    of RFC? Do all Datatracker state attributes correctly reflect this intent?

Proposed Standard, as it's a collection of items from existing proposed standards
into an IANA registry for ease of discovery.

12. Have reasonable efforts been made to remind all authors of the intellectual
    property rights (IPR) disclosure obligations described in [BCP 79][7]? To
    the best of your knowledge, have all required disclosures been filed? If
    not, explain why. If yes, summarize any relevant discussion, including links
    to publicly-available messages when applicable.

There's no original work as such, and also the authors have been asked if they
are aware of any issues.

13. Has each author, editor, and contributor shown their willingness to be
    listed as such? If the total number of authors and editors on the front page
    is greater than five, please provide a justification.

Yes.

14. Document any remaining I-D nits in this document. Simply running the [idnits
    tool][8] is not enough; please review the ["Content Guidelines" on
    authors.ietf.org][15]. (Also note that the current idnits tool generates
    some incorrect warnings; a rewrite is underway.)

This document is almost entirely instructions to IANA, there's a lot of "lines
too long" but it's because of the table format being rendered to text.

15. Should any informative references be normative or vice-versa? See the [IESG
    Statement on Normative and Informative References][16].

I belive they're all correct.  The normative references are required to understand
this document, and the informative references are to the documents referenced in
the registry.

16. List any normative references that are not freely available to anyone. Did
    the community have sufficient access to review any such normative
    references?

All references are to IETF RFCs.

17. Are there any normative downward references (see [RFC 3967][9] and [BCP
    97][10]) that are not already listed in the [DOWNREF registry][17]? If so,
    list them.

No.

18. Are there normative references to documents that are not ready to be
    submitted to the IESG for publication or are otherwise in an unclear state?
    If so, what is the plan for their completion?

No.

19. Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? If
    so, does the Datatracker metadata correctly reflect this and are those RFCs
    listed on the title page, in the abstract, and discussed in the
    introduction? If not, explain why and point to the part of the document
    where the relationship of this document to these other RFCs is discussed.

No, it only documents the status and interactions of existing RFCs in one place.

20. Describe the document shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section,
    especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document.
    Confirm that all aspects of the document requiring IANA assignments are
    associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm
    that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm
    that each newly created IANA registry specifies its initial contents,
    allocations procedures, and a reasonable name (see [RFC 8126][11]).

The IANA considerations request a registry and specify the initial contents,
as well as the review considerations.

21. List any new IANA registries that require Designated Expert Review for
    future allocations. Are the instructions to the Designated Expert clear?
    Please include suggestions of designated experts, if appropriate.

Yes, the registration process is clear. The authors of this document
(Ken Murchison and Alexey Melnikov) are appropriate designated experts.
