This was based on feedback I got from Jon Postel and Joyce Reynolds when I was writing up registration procedures for SOIF template types (part of the CIP working going on in the FIND working group). My take on it is that they prefer the registration procedures documents to be revisable without forcing a revision of the technical specification. This means paring down the draft to just the procedures and putting the other sections somewhere else. That led me to volunteer to Andy and Larry that I would try to split the draft up, so that we could see which bits fell where. I have not yet had the chance to sit down and really write up the result, but my current sense is that Section 1, Section 2.4, Section 3.1.*, and Sections 3.[5,6,8] are the ones containing the procedural elements. I meant to send off a note with the results as soon as I had gotten the drafts written, but that has taken longer than I anticipated. My apologies if the delay has caused any confusion. regards, Ted Hardie NASA NIC
