The IANA Actions in this document are dependent on the approval of
another document being considered by the IESG. That document is
draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries.

IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, there are two
actions that need to be completed.

First, in the new Bundle registry created by IANA upon approval of
draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries, one new value will be added to the
Bundle Block Types subregistry as follows:

+-------+----------------------------------------+----------------+
show quoted text
show quoted text
| Value | Description + Reference |
+-------+----------------------------------------+----------------+
show quoted text
show quoted text
| tbd | Metadata Extension Block + [ RFC-to-be ] |
+-------+----------------------------------------+----------------+

IANA notes that the athors have proposed a value of "8" for this Block Type.

Second, in the new Bundle registry created by IANA upon approval of
draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries, a new subregistry is to be created
for Bundle Metadata Type Codes as follows:

The registration policy for this registry is:
0-191: Specification Required
192-255: Private and/or experimental use. No assignment by IANA.

The Value range is unsigned 0 - 255.

The initial registrations for this registry are:

+---------+---------------------------------+---------------+
show quoted text
show quoted text
| Value | Description | Reference |
+---------+---------------------------------+---------------+
show quoted text
show quoted text
| 0 | Reserved | [ RFC-to-be ] |
| 1 | URI | [ RFC-to-be ] |
| 2-191 | Unassigned | |
| 192-255 | Private and/or experimental use | [ RFC-to-be ] |
+---------+---------------------------------+---------------+

IANA understands that these actions are all that are required to be
completed upon approval of this document.

[Ballot comment]
In accordance with RFC 5742, I recommend that the IESG take the following position regarding this IRTF-stream document:

  The IESG has concluded that there is no conflict between this
  document and IETF work.

This recommendation has been entered in the datatracker.

In addition, and outside the scope of IESG review in accordance with RFC 5742, I have the following technical comments, which the author is free to consider or not as desired:

1. The definition of the URI metadata type does not mention Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs); is it envisioned that IRIs could be supported via transformation into URIs as specified in RFC 3987?

2. Section 4.1 states:

  Unless determined by local policy, the specific
  processing steps that must be performed on bundles with metadata
  blocks containing metadata of type URI are expected to be included as
  part of the URI encoding of the metadata.

It is unclear to this reader (a) how the processing steps are to be encoded in the URI and (b) if such processing steps are intended to override or supplement the processing steps defined in RFC 3986 for URIs in general.
