          draft-ietf-ecrit-location-profile-registry-policy-02

Abstract

   This document changes the policy of the Location-to-Service "Location-to-Service
   Translation (LoST) Location Profile Profiles" IANA registry established by
   RFC5222
   RFC 5222 from Standards Action to Specification Required.  This
   allows standards development organizations (SDOs) other than the IETF
   to add new values.

1.  Document Scope

   This document changes the policy of the Location-to-Service
   Translation (LoST) Location Profile IANA registry [reg] established
   by [RFC5222] from Standards Action to Specification Required (as
   defined in [RFC8126]).  This allows standards development
   organizations (SDOs) other than the IETF to add new values.

2.  Introduction

   The Location-to-Service Translation Protocol, LoST (LoST) Protocol [RFC5222] uses a
   location profile when conveying location (e.g., in a mapping request
   and a service boundary result).  [RFC5222] established an IANA
   registry of location profiles [reg], [reg] with a registry policy of
   Standards Action.  This requires a standards-track Standards Track RFC for any new
   registry values.  The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) is
   an SDO
   a standards development organization (SDO) that makes significant use
   of LoST in its emergency call specifications (e.g., [NENA-i3]) and
   has identified a need for additional location profiles.  This
   document changes the registry policy to Specification Required,
   allowing other SDOs such as NENA to add values.

2.  Document Scope

   This document changes the policy of the "Location-to-Service
   Translation (LoST) Location Profiles" IANA registry [reg] established
   by [RFC5222] from Standards Action to Specification Required (as
   defined in [RFC8126]).  This allows SDOs other than the IETF to add
   new values.

3.  Security Considerations

   No new security considerations are identified by this change in
   registry policy.

4.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to change has changed the policy of the Location-to-Service "Location-to-Service Translation
   (LoST) Location Profile Registry Profiles" registry (established by [RFC5222]) to
   Specification Required.  IANA has also added this document as a
   reference for the registry.  The expert reviewer Expert Reviewer is designated per
   [RFC8126].  The reviewer should verify that:

   o

   *  the proposed new value is specified by the IETF, NENA, or a
      similar SDO in which location profiles are in scope;
   o

   *  the proposed new value has a clear need (which includes there not
      being an existing profile that meets the need);
   o and

   *  the profile specification is unambiguous and interoperable.

   to Guy Caron for his suggestion to clarify that "clear need" includes
   there not being an existing profile.
