Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension
draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis-08

[Ballot discuss]
The IANA considerations section does not seem to stand alone without reading RFC 5204. As you are obsoleting RFC 5204, readers shouldn't be expected to read it in order to discover original IANA instructions.
I think you should copy information from RFC 5204.

[Ballot comment]
In Section 6:

  This section is to be interpreted according to the Guidelines for
  Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs [RFC5226].

This sentence is not needed, because RFC 5204 didn't define any registries, so none of the text from RFC 5226 applies. I suggest you delete this sentence.

[Ballot comment]
The IANA considerations section does not seem to stand alone without reading RFC 5204. In my opinion, this draft should replicate the appropriate information, so that one does not need to read the obsoleted RFC to fully understand the IANA considerations.

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

IANA has completed its review of draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis-06.txt. If any part of this review is inaccurate, please let us know.

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

In the Parameter Types subregistry of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Parameters located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/hip-parameters/

the three references to RFC 5204 will be updated to [ 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. 


Thank you,

Subject: Last Call:  (Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension) to Proposed Standard


The IESG has received a request from the Host Identity Protocol WG (hip)
to consider the following document:
- 'Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension'
  as Proposed Standard

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 2015-12-28. 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 a rendezvous extension for the Host Identity
  Protocol (HIP).  The rendezvous extension extends HIP and the HIP
  registration extension for initiating communication between HIP nodes
  via HIP rendezvous servers.  Rendezvous servers improve reachability
  and operation when HIP nodes are multi-homed or mobile.  This
  document obsoletes RFC5204.

Document Writeup for draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis-06


(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard,
Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is
this the proper type of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the
title page header?

  Proposed Standard. This document is intended to obsolete RFC 5204,
  which was an Experimental RFC.

(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement
Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent
examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved
documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections:

Technical Summary:

  This document defines a rendezvous extension for the Host Identity
  Protocol (HIP).  The rendezvous extension extends HIP and the HIP
  registration extension for initiating communication between HIP nodes
  via HIP rendezvous servers.  Rendezvous servers improve reachability
  and operation when HIP nodes are multi-homed or mobile.  This
  document obsoletes RFC5204.

Working Group Summary:

  There was WG consensus behind this document.

Document Quality:

  As discussed in RFC 6538, there are several implementations of the
  Experimental HIP specs. At least HIP for Linux and OpenHIP will be
  updated to comply with the standards-track specs.


Personnel:

Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director?

  Gonzalo Camarillo is the documetn shepherd. Terry Manderson is the
  responsible area director.

(3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by
the Document Shepherd. If this version of the document is not ready
for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to
the IESG.

  The document shepherd reviewed revision 06 of this document, which
  was ready for publication.

(4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or
breadth of the reviews that have been performed?

  No.

(5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from
broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS,
DHCP, XML, or internationalization? If so, describe the review that
took place.

  No.

(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document
Shepherd has with this document that the Responsible Area Director
and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is
uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns
whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has
discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to
advance the document, detail those concerns here.

  No concerns.

(7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR
disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP
78 and BCP 79 have already been filed. If not, explain why?

  Yes.

(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If
so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR
disclosures.

  No.

(9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it
represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others
being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it?

  The whole WG understands the document and agree with it. Note that
  this is the revision of an existing RFC (i.e., a bis document).

(10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
discontent? If so, please summarise 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.

(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this
document. (See http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the
Internet-Drafts Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this
check needs to be thorough.

  The only relevant nit found in the draft is an outdated reference:
  draft-ietf-hip-rfc5201-bis has been published as RFC 7401. This will
  be easily fixed at a later point.

(12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review
criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.

  No formal reviews are needed.

(13) Have all references within this document been identified as
either normative or informative?

  Yes.

(14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready
for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such
normative references exist, what is the plan for their completion?

  As indicated above, rfc5201bis has already been published as an
  RFC. The other two drafts in the Normative References section,
  rfc5203bis and rfc5205bis, are planned be pusblished as RFCs in the
  same batch as this document.

(15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC
3967)? If so, list these downward references to support the Area
Director in the Last Call procedure.

  No.

(16) Will publication of this document change the status of any
existing RFCs? Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed
in the abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are
not listed in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to
the part of the document where the relationship of this document to
the other RFCs is discussed. If this information is not in the
document, explain why the WG considers it unnecessary.

  Yes, it will obsolete RFC 5204. This fact is discussed on the title
  page header and on the Abstract.

(17) 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 protocol extensions that
the document makes are associated with the appropriate reservations in
IANA registries. Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been
clearly identified. Confirm that newly created IANA registries include
a detailed specification of the initial contents for the registry,
that allocations procedures for future registrations are defined, and
a reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC
5226).

  The IANA Considerations Section is complete and consistent.

(18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for
future allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG would
find useful in selecting the IANA Experts for these new registries.

  No new experts are required.

(19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document
Shepherd to validate sections of the document written in a formal
language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc.

  No such checks were needed.
