Re: ACTION-2319: Investigate the work required for a scheme registration.

The method of registering a scheme is documented in RFC 4395: 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4395


There are two types of registration: provisional and permanent. There are 
fewer restrictions on provisional registrations, and they exist in order to 
encourage registration.


5.2.  Registration Procedures
    Someone wishing to register a URI scheme SHOULD:

    1.  Check the IANA URI scheme registry to see whether or not there is
        already an entry for the desired name.  If there is already an
        entry under the name, choose a different URI scheme name.
    2.  Prepare a URI scheme registration template, as specified in
        Section 5.4.  The URI scheme registration template may be
        contained in an Internet Draft, alone or as part of some other
        protocol specification.  The template may also be submitted in
        some other form (as part of another document or as a stand-alone
        document), but the contents will be treated as an "IETF
        Contribution" under the guidelines of RFC 3978 [4].
    3.  Send a copy of the template or a pointer to the containing
        document (with specific reference to the section with the
        template) to the mailing list uri-review@ietf.org, requesting
        review.  In addition, request review on other mailing lists as
        appropriate.  For example, general discussion of URI syntactical
        issues could be discussed on uri@w3.org; schemes for a network
        protocol could be discussed on a mailing list for that protocol.
        Allow a reasonable time for discussion and comments.  Four weeks
        is reasonable for a permanent registration requests.
    4.  Respond to review comments and make revisions to the proposed
        registration as needed to bring it into line with the guidelines
        given in this document.

    5.  Submit the (possibly updated) registration template (or pointer
        to document containing it) to IANA at iana@iana.org, specifying
        whether 'permanent' or 'provisional' registration is requested.
