IANA assignment policies
There has been no further activity on the mailing list about IANA
assignment policies for IKEv2, and we need to somehow make progress.
So I'm going to make a set of proposals given the discussion which we've
had on the subject:
1) All numberspaces should have at least some (perhaps a very small)
Private Use, per David Black's concerns about being able to do
private experiments.
2) All 16-bit and greater number spaces will have a policy of
Specification Required for the portion of the space which is reserved
for IANA assignment.
3) All 8-bit number spaces shall have the following policy for the
portion of the space which is reserved for IANA assignment. A number
may be assigned EITHER via a standards-track RFC OR by satisfying
both of the following policies: Specification Required and Expert
Review. Furthermore, the review by the expert must follow a two-week
public discussion on a mailing list. As always, the decision of the
expert may be appealed to the IESG who may decide to affirm or
override the Expert's decision.
Does this satisfy everyone's concerns? I'd like to call the question
and come to a decision within a week.
