Re: [iri] 4395bis #57 (new): Add some language similar to RFC 3864, section 4.4

#57: Add some language similar to RFC 3864, section 4.4


Comment(by duerst@…):

 Additional information from Graham Klyne:

 I wouldn't necessarily hold up the text from RFC3864 as a shining example
 of what might be said, as on re-reading that the intent isn't crystal
 clear in light of subsequent discussions.  But I appreciate that you have
 picked up the notion in the spirit intended.

 My further thoughts are:

 1. that any text should be framed in terms of negotiation and consensus
 forming rather than objections to registration

 2. that any text should emphasize that the majority of non-contentious
 registrations should incur very little administrative overhead on part of
 IANA or IESG

 3. that the role of IESG as final arbiter is a role that should be invoked
 exceptionally rather than routinely.

 Thus, maybe something like this:
 [[
 The registration procedure for URI schemes is intended to be very
 lightweight for non-contentious registrations.  For the most part, we
 expect the good sense of submitters and reviewers, guided by these
 procedures, to achieve an acceptable and useful consensus for the
 community.

 In exceptional cases, where the negotiating parties cannot form a
 consensus, the final arbiter of any contested registration shall be the
 IESG.

 If parties achieve consensus on a registration proposal that does not
 fully conform to the strict wording of this procedure, this should be
 drawn to the attention of a relevant member of the IESG.
 ]]

 I think this pretty much covers what happens at the moment.
