Introduction Table 1 shows the policy for registration of sub-services of the service URN with the 'sos' service type, as defined in section 4.2. of RFC 5031 [RFC5031]. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an | | immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the | | government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services | | can be added after expert review and must be of general public | | interest and have a similar emergency nature. The expert is | | designated by the ECRIT working group, its successor, or, in | | their absence, the IESG. The expert review should only approve | | emergency services that are offered widely and in different | | countries, with approximately the same caller expectation in | | terms of services rendered. The 'sos' service is not meant to | | invoke general government, public information, counseling, or | | social services. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Table 1: Excerpt from RFC 5031 section 4.2. Some existing emergency services are, at least initially, offered in one country only. Examples are the "Reporting spies" emergency service offered in South Korea and the "GAULA (anti-kidnapping)" emergency service offered in Colombia according to http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_telephone_number (as per January 8th 2014). Future emergency service might also initially be introduced in one country only. Holmberg & Sedlacek Expires July 12, 2014 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft country specific emergency services January 2014 The policy for registration of sub-services of the service URN with the 'sos' service type, as defined in RFC 5031 [RFC5031], prevents the registration of a sub-service of the service URN with the 'sos' service type for a service that, at the time of registration, is offered in one country only. This document updates the 2nd paragraph of section 4.2 of RFC 5031 [RFC5031], in order to allow the registration of service URNs with the 'sos' service type for emergency services that, at the time of registration, are offered in one country only. 2. Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 3. Update to RFC 5031 3.1. General Section 3.2 of this document replaces the text of the 2nd paragraph of section 4.2 (Sub-Services for the 'sos' Service) of RFC 5031 [RFC5031]. 3.2. New text replacing the text of the 2nd paragraph of section 4.2 of RFC 5031 The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services can be added after expert review. The expert is designated by the ECRIT working group, its successor, or, in their absence, the IESG. The designated expert should only approve services that have emergency nature, that are offered in at least one country, that do not match description of any existing service URN with the 'sos' service type, and where the service description and the URN are defined as broadly as possible to encourage reuse. The 'sos' service is not meant to invoke general government, public information, counseling, or social services. 4. IANA Considerations This document updates the advice to the expert for the registry of sub-services of the "sos" service. IANA is requested to update the reference for that registry from RFC 5031 [RFC5031] to this document. Holmberg & Sedlacek Expires July 12, 2014 [Page 3]
