Hi Chris, The RFC queue delay in publication is currently somewhere between 8 and 16 months. And last call and IESG decision is several more months. For this calendar year (2005), RFC 2717 is the URI registration process, for better or worse. Cheers, - Ira PS - Note that there is potential overlap in Paul Hoffman's revision of 'file' URI scheme (or Larry Masinter's, if he decides to go ahead with it) with 'smb' scheme for UNC names.

Hertel; Adam Atlas Cc: uri@w3.org Subject: Re: URI registration process. See draft-hansen-2717bis-2718bis-uri-guidelines-01.txt for the replacement to the URI registration process. It is just about to go through the last call process, so will hopefully be published in a few months. The new process is much simpler than the old process. Tony Hansen tony@att.com Christopher R.
