Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Network Time Security (NTS)
   documents define a number of assigned number registries, collectively
   called the NTP registries.  Some registries have wrong values, some
   registries do not follow current common practice, and some are just
   right.  For the sake of completeness, this document reviews all NTP
   and NTS registries, and makes updates where necessary.

   This document updates RFC 5905, RFC 5906, RFC 8573, RFC 7822, and RFC
   7821.

Working Group Summary

   Generally nothing of note.  Some of these documents go far back,
   and there are numerous implementations of NTP and extensions.

Document Quality

   This document is a general clean-up of the various NTP registries.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Dieter Sibold. The
   Responsible Area Director is Erik Kline.

IESG Note

  The I-D nits calls out the pre RFC 5378 IPR situation because
  this touches several documents that pre-date that era. I asked
  Glenn and the Trust if the rights situation was sorted w.r.t.
  these documents and the reply was that we "are fine to proceed
  ahead."

IANA Note

  This document attempts to do some housekeeping on various NTP
  registries.
