The "font" Top-Level Media Type
draft-ietf-justfont-toplevel-06

[Ballot comment]
In 5.3, what does it mean that "RFC 6838 [RFC6838] should be consulted on
  registration procedures."? Is the point that the registration procedures there apply here?

Shepherd Writeup for draft-ietf-justfont-toplevel-03

1. Summary

Who is the document shepherd?
Wendy Seltzer
Who is the responsible Area Director?
Alexey Melnikov

Abstract: This memo serves to register and document the "font" Top
Level Type, under which the Internet Media subtypes for representation
formats for fonts may be registered.  This document also serves as a
registration application for a set of intended subtypes, which are
representative of some existing subtypes already in use, and currently
registered under the "application" tree by their separate
registrations.

Proposed Standard, as the appropriate vehicle for a top-level media type.

2. Review and Consensus

The document was discussed on the mailing list, with notices to the
W3C WebFonts WG, and via GitHub issues in
https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/. While discussion of this
document itself was light, it followed discussions in the W3C WG. Both
the W3C group and the IETF justfont group include participants with
significant expertise in Web, fonts, and internationalization.

3. Intellectual Property

The author has confirmed that he has no IPR disclosures to make. As no
IPR has been disclosed, there has been no WG discussion of such.

4. Other Points

Two W3C references are stable Candidate Recommendations, https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#candidate-rec

The IANA Services Operator has completed its review of draft-ietf-justfont-toplevel-03.txt. If any part of this review is inaccurate, please let us know.

Upon approval of this document, we understand that there is a single registry action to complete.

In the Media Types registry located at:

a new registry is to be created with a new Content Type as follows:

font

The media type registration form will be updated to reflect the new content type. The registration procedure for the new Content Type will be consistent with the other Content Types in the Media Types registry.

There are six initial registrations in the new Content Type registry as follows:

Name: sfnt
Template: [ TBD-at-Registration ]
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

Name: ttf
Template: [ TBD-at-Registration ]
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

Name: otf
