	Many Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocols make use
	of commonly defined values that are passed in messages or
	packets.  To ensure consistent interpretation of these values
	between independent implementations, there is a need to ensure
	that the values and associated semantic intent are uniquely
	defined.  The IETF uses registry functions to record assigned
	protocol parameter values and their associated semantic
	intentions.  For each IETF protocol parameter, it is current
	practice for the IETF to delegate the role of Protocol
	Parameter Registry Operator to a nominated entity.  This
	document provides a description of, and the requirements for,
	these delegated functions. This document obsoletes RFC 6220 to
	replace all references to the IASA IETF Administrative Support Activity
	(IASA) and related structures with those defined by the IASA 2.0 Model.

	Many IETF protocols make use of commonly defined values that
	are passed within messages or packets.  To ensure consistent
	interpretation of these values between independent
	implementations, there is a need to ensure that the values
	and associated semantic intent are uniquely defined.  The
	IETF uses registries to record each of the possible values
	of a protocol parameter and their associated semantic
	intent.  These registries, their registration policy, and
	the layout of their content are defined in the so-called
	"IANA Considerations" sections of IETF documents.
      </t>
      <t>
      <t pn="section-1-2">
	The organizational separation between the IETF and its
	Protocol Parameter Registry Operators parallels ones that are fairly common among
	standards development organizations (SDOs) although less
	common among technology consortia and similar bodies.  These
	functions have been separated into different organizations for
	several reasons.  They include dealing with administrative
	issues, addressing concerns about maintaining an adequate
	distance between basic policy and specific allocations, and
	avoiding any potential conflicts of interest that might arise
	from commercial or organizational relationships.  For example,
	most ISO and ISO/IEC JTC1 standards that require registration
	activities specify a Registration Authority (RA) or
	Maintenance Agency (MA) that, in turn, control the actual
	registration decisions.  The databases of what is registered
	for each standard may then be maintained by a secretariat or
	database function associated with the RA or MA or, less
	frequently, by the secretariat of the body that created and
	maintains the standard itself.
      </t>
      <t>
      <t pn="section-1-3">
	This structural separation of roles exists within several
	places in the IETF framework (e.g., the RFC Editor
	function).  The Internet Architecture Board (IAB), on behalf
	of the IETF, has the responsibility to define and manage the
	relationship with the Protocol Parameter Registry Operator role.  This
	responsibility includes the selection and management of the
	Protocol Parameter Registry Operator, as well as management
	of the parameter registration process and the guidelines for
	parameter allocation.
      </t>
      <t>
      <t pn="section-1-4">
	As with other SDOs, although it may delegate authority for
	some specific decisions, the IETF asserts authority and
	responsibility for the management of all of its protocol
	parameters and their registries, even while it generally
	remains isolated from the selection of particular values once
	a registration is approved.  This document describes the
	function of these registries as they apply to individual
	protocol parameters defined by the IETF Internet Standards
	Process (see RFC 6410 <xref target="RFC6410" format="default"/> target="BCP9" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="BCP9"/>) to allow for an orderly implementation by
	the IETF Administration Limited Liability Company (IETF LLC),
	and others as needed, under guidance from the IAB. This
	document obsoletes RFC 6220 to replace all references to the
	IASA and related structures with those defined by the IASA 2.0
	Model <xref target="I-D.ietf-iasa2-rfc4071bis" format="default"/>. target="RFC8711" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8711"/>.

      <t pn="section-2-1">
	The IETF's longstanding practice is to outsource the
	management and implementation of some important functions
	(e.g., <xref target="I-D.ietf-iasa2-rfc6635bis" format="default"/>). target="RFC8728" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8728"/>).  The protocol parameter
	registry function falls into this category of outsourced
	functions, and what follows here is the description of the
	roles and responsibilities with respect to the registration of
	IETF protocol parameters.
      </t>
      <t>
      <t pn="section-2-2">
	Specifically, this document describes the operation and role
	of a delegated IETF Protocol Parameter Registry Operator, to
	be selected and administered by the IETF Administrative
	Support Activity (IASA) <xref target="I-D.ietf-iasa2-rfc4071bis" format="default"/>. target="RFC8711" format="default" sectionFormat="of" derivedContent="RFC8711"/>.  While there is generally a
	single Protocol Parameter Registry Operator, additional
	Operators may be selected to implement specific registries,
	and that has been done occasionally.  Having a single Protocol Parameter Registry Operator
	facilitates coordination among registries, even those that are
	not obviously related, and also makes it easier to have
	consistency of formats and registry structure, which aids
	users of the registries and assists with quality control.
      </t>
      <t>
      <t pn="section-2-3">
	Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants
	and other well-known values.  Even after a protocol has been
	defined and deployment has begun, new values may need to be
	assigned (e.g., for a new option type in DHCP, or a new
	encryption or authentication algorithm for IPsec).  To ensure
	that such quantities have consistent values and
	interpretations in different implementations, their assignment
	must be administered by a central authority.  For IETF
	protocols, that role is provided by a delegated Protocol
	Parameter Registry Operator.  For any particular protocol
	parameter there is a single delegated Registry Operator.

In the years since then, the needs of the IETF evolved in ways that required changes to its administrative structure.  The purpose of this document is to document and describe the IETF Administrative Support Activity, version 2 (IASA 2.0).  It defines the roles and responsibilities of the IETF Administration LLC Board, the IETF Executive Director, and the Internet Society in the fiscal and administrative support of the IETF standards process.  It also defines the membership and selection rules for the IETF Administration LLC Board.  This document obsoletes RFC 4071, RFC 4333, and RFC 7691.</t>

          <abstract>
            <t>Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants and other well-known values.  Even after a protocol has been defined and deployment has begun, new values may need to be assigned (e.g., for a new option type in DHCP, or a new encryption or authentication transform for IPsec).  To ensure that such quantities have consistent values and interpretations across all implementations, their assignment must be administered by a central authority.  For IETF protocols, that role is provided by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).</t>
            <t>In order for IANA to manage a given namespace prudently, it needs guidelines describing the conditions under which new values can be assigned or when modifications to existing values can be made.  If IANA is expected to play a role in the management of a namespace, IANA must be given clear and concise instructions describing that role.  This document discusses issues that should be considered in formulating a policy for assigning values to a namespace and provides guidelines for authors on the specific text that must be included in documents that place demands on IANA.</t>

            <t>Many protocols make use of points of extensibility that use constants to identify various protocol parameters.  To ensure that the values in these fields do not have conflicting uses and to promote interoperability, their allocations are often coordinated by a central record keeper.  For IETF protocols, that role is filled by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).</t>
            <t>To make assignments in a given registry prudently, guidance describing the conditions under which new values should be assigned, as well as when and how modifications to existing values can be made, is needed.  This document defines a framework for the documentation of these guidelines by specification authors, in order to assure that the provided guidance for the IANA Considerations is clear and addresses the various issues that are likely in the operation of a registry.</t>

	    There are a few places where I've added a reference to  <xref target="I-D.ietf-iasa2-rfc4071bis" format="default"/> mainly in places where I am not sure
	    if we should assume prior knowledge from the
	    reader. E.g. whether the Executive Director can be
	    presumed to be a known term in the context of this
	    document. Guidance is accepted.

	    Editorial Issue: By using a referencegroup for
	    BCP9 and BCP101 I seem to have lost to refer to specific
	    RFCs within the reference group i.e. I have references
	    to  RFC6410 and RFC4371 specifically that I can't
	    resolve because these are inside a reference
	    group. I would like to retain the specific reference in the
	    places where I use the RFC reference and the generic
	    reference where I use the BCP reference. I presume the RFC
	    editor can and will resolve this.
