IANA considerations needs

https://github.com/ietf-wg-uuidrev/rfc4122bis/issues/144

• IANA UUID Variants Registry and Registration {#iana1}

Will not retain this registry.

• What is the DNS reference and namespace?
  ** Namespace ID Usage and Allocation {#namespaces}

We will retain this registry with Specification Required.

• IANA Reserved UUIDs Registry and Registration {#iana3}

This has just NIL/MAX and will be removed.

• IANA UUID Subtype Registry and Registration {#iana2}

Included for completeness, and will be Standards Action policy.

open and closed issues from sectorial / AD reviews

• Discussion of the use of namespace IDs. Hashspaces don't exist any
  more (so DISCUSS is moot) but namspaces are a similar situation.
• What should the IANA rules be for allocation of new namespace IDs?
  Somewhere between first come first served and Specification
  Required. Tentatively going with Specification Required.
• Need to be consistent on "namespace value" vs. "namespace ID"
• nothing more.

UUIDv9 issues

• are these concerns now resolved into v8 "name-based" text?

discussion and chair questions

• what things might need a subsequent document?
• if we are accepting any significant changes, then do we reset to
  WGLC?
• Dropping variant registry but keeping version registry.
• Daniel: ITU-T references current UUID versions, but might need to
  inform them of new versions. Need to work with ITU liaisons.

Open Mic and AOB

• things back to the WG mailing list: IETF process oriented issues!
  ** should the WG reset back to WGLC?
  ** all decisions made "today" need to come back to the ML, period.

  **
  * ACTION: NOT going to reset to WGLC unless WG consensus is that we
  need V9.
