COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Major comment:

Section 3 has suggested changes for RFC3188 for the next time it is revised.
It's not clear, outside of institutional knowledge (which is a very fragile
construct) how the indicated changes are going to be properly remembered when
such revision takes place. Is there a good reason this document doesn't simply
update RFC3188 by indicating an updated template directly? If this doesn't make
sense, I would think that we need at least an erratum associated with RFC3188
that indicates the nature of update that needs to be performed.

Minor comments:

The draft header indicates that this document obsoletes RFC3044 and RFC3187,
but the abstract doesn't mention this, which it should.

The document has at least nine places where external documents are mentioned
but which are not, themselves, reference citations (e.g., "RFC 8141"  rather
than "[RFC8141]" in section 2). This will interact poorly with some RFC-related
tooling. Please change these to references.

Adam,

While I disagree with your comments, thanks for the careful
reading.

Several comments and clarifications below, with the
understanding that these are my opinions only and that, if there
is evidence of WG or IETF consensus to the contrary, I'm happy
to make changes...

The problem is this.  RFC 3188 was never an IETF WG document.
It will be replaced by a new RFC, most likely in the Independent
Stream unless you are one of your colleagues are interested in
sponsoring it as an Informational individual submission.  Juha
and I have been working intermittently on a draft; the hold-up
right now is mostly me, for which I apologize but I have been
tied up with other IETF-related work that seemed to be more
pressing.  There are twp reasons why an updated template is not
directly referenced: it isn't ready due to evolution in NBNs and
it seemed inappropriate for the WG to make promises about what
would be in it.  FWIW, the specific things that this draft calls
out have already been incorporated in the working draft for
3188bis.

Disagree.  Those are informational documents, not standards
track ones, the abstract correctly reflects what the document
does, and the relationships are carefully explained in Section
2.  Cluttering up the abstract by putting in those RFC numbers
seems neither desirable nor appropriate and this should
reasonably be an editorial matter under the control of the RFC
Editor, not something specified by the IESG.

This, again, is an RFC Editor question and a stylistic issue.
As far as I know, each of those documents is cited correctly on
first appearance (including RFC 8141, which is cited in Section
1).  Repeating those citation anchors each time the RFC (or
other document) is referenced does not add to either readability
or provide useful information for the user.    I note that
neither the RFC Style Guide (RFC 7322) nor the plain text
requirements (RFC 7994) require a citation anchor each time a
document is mentioned.   If the IESG would like to impose such a
requirement (in spite of advice against it in several style
manuals), I believe it should be a topic for discussion between
the IESG and the RFC Editor, not an IESG review comment on
particular documents.

It may be worth mentioning that, despite the observation that
some RFC authors have adopted the convention and the RFC Editor,
in their wisdom, has chosen to let it go, the use of a citation
anchor as the subject of a sentence or predicate of a sentence,
object of a preposition, etc. (e.g., "as discussed in
[RFC8141]") is prohibited by every style manual for the English
language that I've been able to find except those who consider
the construction such a grave grammatical error as to not be
worth mentioning.  Perhaps the issue is most easily clarified by
assuming RFCs are pretty-printed and "[RFC8141]" above were
replaced by a superscript numeral.

Of course, if documents were referenced without being cited
properly at all, I'd be delighted to fix that when the problems
are identified unless the RFC Editor gets to it first.

Speaking for myself, I would vastly prefer that when people cite RFCs by
number, those RFCs be actual citations. The reason for this is that those
can then be linkified.

&gt;<br>
&gt; Section 3 has suggested changes for RFC3188 for the next time<br>
&gt; it is revised. It&#39;s not clear, outside of institutional<br>
&gt; knowledge (which is a very fragile construct) how the<br>
&gt; indicated changes are going to be properly remembered when<br>
&gt; such revision takes place. Is there a good reason this<br>
&gt; document doesn&#39;t simply update RFC3188 by indicating an<br>
&gt; updated template directly? If this doesn&#39;t make sense, I would<br>
&gt; think that we need at least an erratum associated with RFC3188<br>
&gt; that indicates the nature of update that needs to be performed.<br>
<br>
</div></div>The problem is this.=C2=A0 RFC 3188 was never an IETF WG docume=

The fact that a document revision is actually underway does assuage my 
concern for the most part. Could you cite the 3188bis document as a work 
in progress? I think it would be useful for consumers of this document 
to know that a revision is actively in progress, and to have a document 
name to look for.

Rather than engaging on the broader topic of indicating Obsoletes and 
Updates in the abstract in general, I'll point out that *this* document 
is paired with a request to reclassify 3044 and 3187 as Historic. There 
is long-standing IESG guidance on this topic 
<https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/designating-rfcs-as-historic-2011-06-27.html>, 
which includes the provision "If authors wish to change the status of 
RFCs that are in the obsoletes header to Historic, then the authors must 
include an explicit statement for the RFC editor to do so; *preferably 
in the abstract and introduction*."

You may, of course, choose to ignore this officially stated IESG 
preference, but doing so would unnecessarily go against convention.

In terms of RFC Editor policy: while the RFC Style Guide does not 
explicitly require obsoleted RFCs to be listed in the abstract, I find 
it rather telling that it does, itself, do so. This is quite possibly 
because RFC Abstracts (according to said style guide) are required to 
give a "concise and comprehensive overview of the purpose and contents 
of the entire document," and some substantial portion of the purpose of 
*this* document is obsoleting existing RFCs -- thus failing the 
"comprehensive" portion of that requirement. So while it may well be 
outside my purview as a member of the IESG to require you to fix this 
defect, it seems quite probable that you'll have this conversation again 
with a member of the RPC in a short while.

We had such a reference or something like it in an earlier
draft.  Barry asked us to take it out on the grounds that the WG
should not be making promises about a document that was not part
of its work program.  That made sense to me, so we removed it.
But I don't feel at all strongly about it so, if you, Barry and
others want such a placeholder reference, I'm happy with that.

There is an explicit statement in the Introduction.  It does not
use the word "Historic" (that is in Section 2).  If you believe
the document would be improved by changing the relevant sentence
in the Introduction to say "Obsoletes the separate RFCs and
makes them Historic...", that change is easily made (and,
frankly, should be have long before this, but no one caught it).
I believe there are documents where there is good reason to
include RFC numbers in the abstract but this is not one of them.
I also note that RFC Editor rules against putting citation
anchors in abstracts causes every such included RFC number to
violate your preferred citation rule because those numbers not
only do not have citation numbers but are the first textual
references to those numbers in the document.   If "preferably"
is turning in "mandatory", we need to have two discussions, one
about the authority boundary between the IESG and the RFC Editor
and the other about where in RFC 2026 and its updates the IESG
is given authority to make policy by issuing statements rather
than determining and reflecting IETF community consensus.

See above.  I am not ignoring it.  I have carefully considered
it and concluded that it is inappropriate for the abstract in
this case, a conclusion with which no one in the WG has
expressed disagreement.  As to "go[ing] against convention", I
believe that a careful survey of documents since that statement
was issued would not show that the "preference" has been
consistently enough followed to constitute normal behavior, nor
that this is a "preference" that the RFC Editor is enforcing.
If this were really close to a firm rule, I would expect the RFC
Editor to "correct" every deviation during their editorial
process, allowing any issues to be sorted out on AUTH48, just as
they enforce, e.g., references without citations.

The "comprehensive" part of that requirement is arguably a poor
choice of words (I will get an erratum filed later today), but
the paragraph that follows (RFC 7322, Section 4.3) makes this
perfectly clear (at least to me) that the Abstract is a matter
of professional and editorial judgment, not something that
should become long or confusing in the interest of covering all
aspects of the document completely.   The paragraph after that,
requiring that the Abstract be complete in itself, prohibits
citations, implying that people should not have to look at other
documents to understand the abstract.  However, a statement such
as "This document makes RFC 3044 Historic" is a citation (even
though it doesn't have an explicit anchor) and conveys no
information unless one knows what 3044 refers to (see below
about well-known numbers).

Again, I believe this is an editorial judgment call.   I believe
that, had I been editing the Style Guide, I would have included
the number of the previous one in the abstract and, since that
preference was announced and despite my misgivings about
citations in abstracts, I have generally included the numbers
when a new document completely replaces an old one (or more than
one) and/or when the previous spec is widely known by its
number.  However, those criteria identify both of the issues
that have caused me to make a different judgment in this case:

(1) Unless the previous document was widely known by its number,
as distinct from being known by a name or not being well-known
at all, I dislike, as an editorial matter, including RFC numbers
in abstracts without explanations.  The reason is closely linked
to the RFC Editor decision to not allow citation anchors in
abstracts (a decision that is supported by some, but not all,
more generally used style manuals).   If the goal of an abstract
is to provide information to the casual reader about what the
document is about, "clarifies the status of relevant older RFCs"
(or even "clarifies the status of relevant older RFCs. including
making the ones describing the ISBN and ISSN URNs historic", a
change I'd happily make if you felt it would improve things)
does that and fulfills  a reasonable interpretation of the
"comprehensive" requirement without folding the entire document
into the abstract (which might be required by another
interpretation of "comprehensive").  

(2) Under most circumstances in which one document replaces (and
obsoletes) another, the new document contains all of the
information in the old one and/or explains what it changes.  If
that type of relationship and explanation is present, there is a
strong argument for reflecting that (number or not) in the
abstract as part of being "comprehensive".    However, in this
case, the substantive replacements for the substantive parts of
RFCs 3044 and 3187 are not in the text in this document.  This
document describes the changes in general terms, but the
replacement specifications are the new templates.  Specifically,
I disagree with your conclusion that "some substantial portion
of the purpose of *this* document is obsoleting existing RFCs":
a substantial portion of the document explains why the templates
make the existing RFCs de facto obsolete, but the only sense in
which it obsoletes them is a narrow procedural one on which it
does not spend much text.  Noting that there is no procedure for
an IANA registration to obsolete an RFC, when we assumed that
this document would be published before those templates were
agreed-to and posted, there was some convoluted text in earlier
versions of this I-D about not obsoleting 3044 and 3187 until
the new templates were registered, text that presumably would
have made this conversation even more "interesting".

Situations in which a new document obsoletes all or part of an
older one as part of, e.g., defining a new strategy have always
been problematic in the IETF, with, e.g., frequent problems
about references, sometimes normative, to sections of the older
document that were not addressed anywhere.  In large measure,
this document was produced to avoid that problem for the
relevant URN namespaces, a goal I hope the IESG would welcome.

I note for purposes of comparison that RFC 8141 obsoletes RFCs
2141 and 3406 in the more traditional sense.  The new
specification covers all of the same ground as the older ones
and there is no substantively-interesting text in the older ones
that is not replaced or repeated by text in the new one.  In
addition, 2141 and 3406 are fairly widely known by their
numbers.   And the older documents are listed by number in the
abstract.

The above suggests another alternative, one that I would
recommend if the current preference of the IESG is to make more
work for the community and itself in the interest of favoring
form over function.  This document could be divided into two
parts, one of which would be a simple explanation of the changes
and relationships, that wouldn't obsolete anything (although it
would provide the motivation for doing so), and that could be
published as Informational.  The other would be a very short,
standards-track document that would obsolete the ISSN (3044) and
ISBN (3187) RFCs and make them Historic, reference the first one
and the templates informatively, contain the RFC numbers in the
abstract because that would be its main purpose, etc.   We
didn't do that because we believed it would be more confusing
for users, in part because we don't have a good way to link such
documents together and reflect current status (another decision
of a long-gone IESG), but it was a conscious decision.  Of
course, splitting things up at this point would require new
I-Ds, probably a new WG review/ LC, a pair of IETF Last Calls,
and then new IESG actions.    But, again, if that is what the
IESG, it its wisdom, wants and how the IESG believes the
community can best spend its time, I'm willing to break the
document apart so that it is possible.

regards,
    john

Thanks for sending me down the path of determining authority here, as it 
has made me realize that I was confused about the basis for insisting 
that Obsoleted documents be explicitly listed in the Abstract.

It turns out that the 2011 IESG statement of "preferably" is a weak 
restating of a 2008 IETF-consensus decision to approve version 1.9 of 
the "ID-Checklist" document, which clearly states that the Abstract of a 
document needs to list obsoleted and/or updated documents (cf. 
<https://www.ietf.org/id-info/checklist.html#anchor6>; Â§3, 1.D, first 
bullet: "if your document obsoletes or updates a previous RFC, then... 
say so in the abstract").

And so I am forced to concede that my "No Objection" was made in error. 
Since the form of this document actively goes against IETF community 
consensus regarding the form of IETF-stream RFCs, I realize that this 
should have been a "Discuss." I will be adjusting my ballot accordingly. 
Thank you again for pointing me in the correct direction, and I 
apologize for the error.

I've consulted with the RFC Editor, and received confirmation that their 
policy is (and has historically been) to "help enforce" this 
requirement, on the authority of ID-Checklist. You seem to be aware of 
documents for which this was overlooked. If you could identify them, I 
would appreciate it, as doing so would allow the proper errata to be filed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The specification has not been properly vetted against the I-D Checklist.

The draft header indicates that this document obsoletes RFC3044 and RFC3187,
but the abstract doesn't mention this, which it should. Listing of obsoleted
documents in the Abstract is specified by the ID-Checklist document (Â§3, 1.D,
first bullet),


----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Major comment:

Section 3 has suggested changes for RFC3188 for the next time it is revised.
It's not clear, outside of institutional knowledge (which is a very fragile
construct) how the indicated changes are going to be properly remembered when
such revision takes place. Is there a good reason this document doesn't simply
update RFC3188 by indicating an updated template directly? If this doesn't make
sense, I would think that we need at least an erratum associated with RFC3188
that indicates the nature of update that needs to be performed.

Minor comment:

The document has at least nine places where external documents are mentioned
but which are not, themselves, reference citations (e.g., "RFC 8141"  rather
than "[RFC8141]" in section 2). This will interact poorly with some RFC-related
tooling. Please change these to references.

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a different take on Adam's discuss point. I don't think its appropriate
for this draft to both obsolete 3044 and 3187 and make them historical. This
draft doesn't replace them. And since IANA may have to deal with a mix of old
and new templates for some transition period, it doesn't remove the need for
them.

Instead, I think it would make more sense for this draft to just change their
status to historical, but not obsolete them. And also mention that in the
abstract :-) .

First of all, you are absolutely right.  This document doesn't
"obsolete" (note that a verb only in IETf-speak) either 3044 or
3187.   That doesn't mean that they are anything but obsolete,
but what gets them into that state is the combination of:

 * Changes, by ISO, in the underlying standards for the
	relevant identifiers.
	
 * The language in RFC 8141 that makes the templates
	normative for definition of URN namespaces rather than,
	e.g., RFCs that describe those namespaces.
	
 * The submission, by the namespace registrants/ managers
	for ISSN and ISSN, of templates to IANA as specified by
	RFC 8141 and the acceptance and recording by IANA of
	those templates for those namespaces.

The reason for moving the existing namespace description and
registration document to Historic is to prevent confusion about
what constitutes the current spec.  I (and I think the WG)
thought it would be less confusing to identify them as obsolete
and create the usual forward pointers to a document that
explained what was going on even if that document doesn't do any
"obsoleting".  If the IESG believes that 3044 and 3187 should be
Historic but not obsolete, go for it.  However, before doing so,
note that state would not make any entry in the RFC Index
pointing to an explanation, possibly leaving readers with the
impression that the URN namespaces for ISSN and ISBN had simply
be discontinued.

To me, there are two fundamental problems underlying this
discussion, both independent of my specific concerns with Adam's
DISCUSS and the associated logic, which I will address
separately.

The first is that it has become increasingly clear in the last
few years that, while the "Obsolete" and "Historic" categories
are adequate for many obvious cases, they are only vaguely
defined, with a number of problematic edge cases.  Based on
exchanges on the IETF list that are not directly related to this
draft, the IESG is aware of those issues, but, at least as far
as I know, has not made a serious attempt (such as trying to
initiate a WG with appropriate focus) to get them resolved,
introduce additional categories or guidance, etc.  Given that
situation. getting into a situation in which advancement of
document is questioned because of some particular theory about
the definition of "Obsoletes" seems to me to be of questionable
appropriateness.   YMMD, of course.

Second, and in my opinion more important, the WG discussed and
understood the relationships involved here.  It concluded that a
"transition" document of this type was appropriate to provide an
explanation of the relationship between namespaces created/
registered under RFC 2141 and either 2611 or 3406 and those
created under what is now 8141.  Making sure that there was no
ambiguity about the status of 3044 and 3187 (and, eventually,
3188) and new, 8141-compatible templates was an important
objective, and the decision to identify the earlier documents as
obsolete and historic was part of that.  

Over the last few decades, when I've been asked how the IETF is
different from most traditional standards bodies, one of the
answers I give most often is that we usually figure out what the
right thing is to do to get the results we want and them do it
rather than getting wrapped around assorted procedural and
make-work axles.   It seems to me that, in the absence of a
better set of categories and definitions, "the right thing for
the users and readers" is exactly what the WG was trying to do
here.  If the IESG has a better approach to recommend, that is
fine with me.  But, so far, it seems to me that your suggestions
(and Adam's) add work and would either make things more complex
or less clear.

Whoops!   I either don't understand what you are saying above or
it indicates one or more series editorial or explanatory
problems in this I-D, RFC 8141, or both.  For any given
namespace, there is only one template at any given time and IANA
has only one such template registered.  There is no transition
in IANA's scope and no need (or opportunity) for IANA to deal
with an old template and a new one at the same time for any
given namespace.    I assume that a template (again for a
particular namespace) could discuss transitions from an earlier
form, but that would be an intra-namespace issue, not anything
IANA needs to deal with or even be aware of.  The sense in which
IANA needs to deal with both old and new templates is that there
are namespaces defined under RFC 2611 or 3406 for which new
templates have not yet been provides (and may never be), but
that isn't a transition topic that IANA has to manage either
(and the procedures for having some older registrations
conforming to the old template and mechanisms and some
conforming to the new ones was carefully sorted out with IANA as
part of RFC 8141, so, if there is an issue, it isn't with this
document.

RFC 3044 and 3187 because inconsistent with the underlying
standards when those standard were published.  That doesn't make
them obsolete in the IETF sense, but it does make them a little
questionable as specs because it isn't completely clear whether
they consider the newer ISO specs normative or are still
dependent on specs ISO considers "replaced" and/or "withdrawn"
(categories that overlap with our "obsolete" and "historic" but
are definitely not the same as either).  They became obsolete by
any reasonable criterion when IANA replaced information based on
them, and references to them, in the registry by information and
references associated with the new templates.    However, as I
reminded Adam, an IANA registration cannot obsolete an RFCs,
some something was needed, preferably something that leaves
tracks.  Hence those aspects of this document even if it pushes
the usual boundaries of our practices in the interest of clarity
and good sense.

> Instead, I think it would make more sense for this draft to

But they _are_ obsolete.  The respective registration agencies
have specified new templates for the namespaces, the new
namespace rules are forward-compatible with the older ones, the
new templates reference the current standards which the old RFCs
do not, etc.  So I don't see what possible purpose, other than
promotion of confusion, could be served by treating the old
definitions of still current (or not-obsolete, if that is
different).

With my RFC 8141 co-author hat on, I concur. There is no transition
period in general, and there is no transition period for any particular
namespace because if the registration is updated (e.g., from version 1
to version 2) then the old registration is immediately outdated as soon
as the new registration is placed in the registry by IANA. IMHO this is
clearly spelled out in RFC 8141 (and RFC 3406 before that).

Since I wrote that comment, I=E2=80=99ve found examples of other RFCs =
that declared previous RFCs obsolete, without containing the =
=E2=80=9Creplacement=E2=80=9D material. I personally find that =
confusing, since I have always interpreted the =E2=80=9CObsoleted by=E2=80=
=9D tag on an RFC to mean =E2=80=9Cdon=E2=80=99t read this, read =
that.=E2=80=9D. But I guess it=E2=80=99s not insane for the =E2=80=9Cthat=E2=
=80=9D in that sentence to redirect to somewhere else. In this case, I =
was thinking =E2=80=9Cobsolete=E2=80=9D didn=E2=80=99t make sense due to =
a misreading of the IANA considerations. (details below.)

I even found an example that did that and also made the target RFC =
historic. But I am still confused over what that means. (more below).

I agree the categories are vague, so the best we can do is think in =
terms of common usage. I tend to think of an =E2=80=9Cobsolete=E2=80=9D =
RFC is one that people should not need to read, and that we might even =
delete or replace with a tombstone if not for the fact we treat RFCs as =
immutable.

On the other hand, I think of =E2=80=9Chistorical=E2=80=9D to mean that =
the RFC is no longer in use for its original purpose, but may be of =
historical interest of instructive for other reasons.

Making an RFC both at the same time confuses me, because those =
definitions seem contradictory. I recognize other people may have =
different definitions.

So the bottom line is, you=E2=80=99ve convinced me =E2=80=9Cobsolete=E2=80=
=9D is appropriate, but I=E2=80=99m now less convinced about =
=E2=80=9Chistorical=E2=80=9D.

You will note I did not ballot DISCUSS. Nothing in my comment blocks =

Apoligies, this was a misread if the IANA considerations on my part. I =
incorrectly conflated the statements there that IANA would have both old =
and new templates to mean old and new templates for the obsoleted RFCs. =
On reflection, that=E2=80=99s clearly nonsensical, and I realized that =
over dinner even before I got back online and saw your email :-)

Yes, that was a mistake on my part (see my response to John). In my =

Ben,

(top post and I hope brief)

Thanks.  Glad we are back in synch on the "obsolete" part.  I
think (and, IIR, the WG thought) that historic would be
appropriate because those documents are part of the history of
URNs and those particular namespaces.  If the IESG concludes
differently, I'm unlikely to lose much sleep over it.

I thought this had been discussed recently (in some form) on the
IETF list, but one problem with treating "obsolete" as "don't
read this" is that we've got documents floating around that are
very much alive and active (IIR, even a few full standards) that
contain normative references to material in "obsolete" documents
that has not been copied into the successors of those documents.
In some cases, that has occurred because the newer documents are
not replacement-type updates of the same general protocol spec
but are, instead, a new spec that makes the older one obsolete
and irrelevant... except for the things that depend on the older
one.  This may be a problem of not enough granularity in the
categories.  Or, if the last WG that I remember trying to
consider it was right, we need to junk the whole "obsoletes"
(and probably "historic" and maybe "updates") business and start
doing relationship summary documents and/or applicability
statements that can describe what is going on rather than
reducing things to a handful (or fewer) of categories.

I have been thinking about those issues for rather a long time
and would be happy to be part of an effort to sort them out if
the IESG ever wants to do so, but hope we can deal with the
general issue when the time is right rather than trying to
construct policy around one, already somewhat unusual, document.

best,
    john

Adam,

Silly me.  I was about to propose a compromise in this area --
one that I hoped would allow the document to move forward, for
me to be able to get back to RFC 3188bis and for you and the
IESG to get back to more important work --  and either didn't do
it soon enough or should have just kept my mouth shut and sorted
this out with the RFC Editor.  I was sufficiently appalled by
your decision that I needed to take overnight to raise my
confidence that I was not overreacting.

Sadly, I don't think I was overreacting.  Consequently, unless
this DISCUSS can be resolved in some other way today, I will
submit a formal appeal against your use of a blocking DISCUSS on
an essentially editorial matter that puts form over substance
and that is abusive of working group decisions and the Last Call
and IESG review processes. =20

In addition to the narrow issues in this particular case, the
appeal is likely to raise the following issues:

(1) The need to clarify the boundary between the IESG's
authority, reflecting community consensus, over matters of
content for documents in the IETF Stream and the RFC Editor's
authority over editorial matters.  General guidance and
statements of preference notwithstanding, I believe that
existing documents and long-standing tradition make rules about
the editorial (as distinct from substantive) content and
structure the exclusive province of the RFC Editor, with the
only important exception being the provision for the IESG to
demand "as is" publication of IETF Stream documents.  The
requirement is=20

(2) The pattern of migration of "guidance" or "recommendations"
into firm requirements ("rules") on which a blocking DISCUSS can
be based and publication of such requirements only in IESG
statements rather than archival documents of record.  I note
that Section 5 of RFC 3710 (the IESG Charter) makes a
distinction between "problems and how to avoid them" and
"commonly used guidelines" on the one hand and "rules" on the
other.  While that document says that the latter are "commonly
published as BCP RFCs", I suggest that substituting
poorly-indexed and non-archival "statements" or "checklists" for
such RFCs sets a trap for the inexperienced or unwary and is
hence inconsistent with a predictable and fair process.

(3) Imposition of specific blocking rules involving the use or
applicability of terms such as "obsolete[s]" and "historic" is
inappropriate when it is generally recognized in the community
that those terms are insufficiently defined and inconsistently
applied.  The way to solve those problems of definition and
application involves a proposal for what should be done,
community discussion and consensus, and RFC publication, not
dropping a DISCUSS on a single document that was either
arbitrarily chosen or that was singled out because one of the
author-editors chose to push back on an editorial "preference".
The observation that the IESG has not seen fit to initiate a
community-based effort (such as a WG) to clarify those
definitions makes a DISCUSS based on the use of those terms
particularly questionable.

(4) There are some specific issues with the checklist statement
you cite that make it subject to different interpretations and
highlight the issues identified in (2) above.  For example:

(4.1) As noted in erratum 5076, a statement similar to "this
document obsoletes RFC 4687" is a citation whether an anchor
appears there or not, yet C(1)(B) of the checklist prohibits
citations. =20

(4.2) C(1)(C) references "section 4.5 in
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-style-guide/rfc-style-manual-08.tx=
t"
in a context that can only be interpreted as normative, yet that
link is dead (leads to a 404 error) and the document to which it
referred became obsolete (sic) when RFC 7322 was published if
not earlier.  To save you the time of checking, Section 4.5 of
RFC 7322 is not about abstracts.

(4.3) C(1)(D), which you have cited in support of the presumed
requirement, says "if your document obsoletes or updates a
previous RFC, then: say so in the abstract".  However, "say so"
appears to be general guidance, not a requirement for specific
language.  The abstract in
draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition-08 includes "This document
clarifies the status of relevant older RFCs...", which I contend
is consistent with the checklist "say so" statement.  Had you
requested that statement be expanded to say "...document
clarifies the status of relevant older RFCs and formally makes
two of them historic...", I would have made a bad face but,
unless my co-author, the WG Chairs, or the WG disagreed, I would
have made the change and we would not be having this discussion.

If the IESG (or even a single AD) is going to treat a particular
document as a set of requirements that justifies a blocking
DISCUSS, then it is obligated to maintain them so that
statements are clear and normative references are usable.
Failure to do so makes application of the documents or
statements in that way fundamentally unfair.

(5) Even if none of the considerations outlined above applied,
it would be inappropriate to use a blocking DISCUSS because the
guidance in a particular document violates a "rule" or
"checklist item" when that guidance has existed for a long time
and has never been enforced consistently.

regards,
    john

Hello John, Adam,

I'm currently on a plane heading for vacations, so I very much hope that 
by the time you get this email, things have cooled down a bit rather 
than escalating further.

I seriously think that exchanges like this are not worth the time of two 
busy people like you, not to speak of the rest of the IESG and the WG 
(or those in the WG who still read its mail).

It may seem like Adam is singling out this draft, but he only recently 
became an AD, and to support that claim, it would be necessary to show 
that he on-purpose ignored the same issue in other drafts that have 
recently come up to the IESG. Maybe he's just trying to do his best as a 
new AD. Or maybe he is just trying to give a bit more attention to an 
issue that is somewhat more important to him than to other IESG members; 
that's definitely not something that other ADs haven't done in the past.

As for RFC numbers in abstracts, how exactly to show them can be left to 
the RFC Editor. Every reader will know how to get more information by 
going to the references section of the main document even if the number 
isn't styled as a reference. The concept of 'well-known RFC number' is 
very relative; there may be RFC numbers that the potential readers of 
the document know quite well even though the 'average' RFC reader won't. 
Also, if I as a reader don't know an RFC number that's obsoleted, then 
that's a very good signal that I may not have to care. If we still want 
to help the reader more, an additional phrase giving the title may also 
help. I'm not saying that because I think that these RFC numbers need to 
be in the abstract, just to say that it won't be the end of the world if 
they are.

As for WG consensus, I'm not the one who judges that, but I'd think that 
questions like whether to put RFC numbers in the abstract or not haven't 
been discussed seriously, and the average WG member could care less 
about it either way.

I strongly suggest that John take down his threat of an appeal, and Adam 
take down the discuss, and that you both, if necessary with the help of 
others, figure this out with less heat.

Regards,   Martin.

Martin,

Thanks for the wise and calming words.   If I were seeking to
recall Adam over this, they would be entirely appropriate, but I
am not.   This is a matter of an appeal from a particular AD
decision that I believe is out of line and that is _exactly_
what appeals are intended for: to ask the IESG, and, if
necessary, the IAB and ISOC to review a particular decision,
think about it a bit more, determine whether it was appropriate
and, if it is not, to  then take whatever actions are needed to
adjust and avoid unnecessary recurrences.

The bar for what seem to be blocking DISCUSS positions -- ones
that have the character of "unless the IESG overrides my
position, I am not going to let this go through until my
concerns are reflected by changes in the I-D" rather than "I
think this issue needs further consideration and discussion" is
critical to the efficient and effective functioning of the IETF.
I believe that its being set too low is one of the reasons
important work has been migrating away from the IETF.  More
important for this particular issue, the IESG has been asked
repeatedly to change names or procedures so that the intent that
separates those two very different DISCUSS procedures was made
clear.  I note that issue was included in at least one appeal
over 11 years ago and that, AFAICT, the IESG has, in the
subsequent decade, neither taken action on that issue or
explained why not -- itself, IMO, as significant violation of
the intent of the appeals model and a threat to fairness.

Because of that, I would feel obligated to produce a formal
appeal and carry it forward even if Adam changed his mind about
the DISCUSS.

Again, if I were contemplating a recall, you would be absolutely
correct about a pattern of bad behavior.  I am not, although
whether I even have the right to contemplate such things raises
other issues.   No such pattern is required for an appeal of a
particular action.   You can legitimately question whether an
appeal in this case should simply say "this is a bad decision,
please reconsider it" or whether it is appropriate for me to
point out that, intentionally or not, the action raises other
questions including, in this case, the authority (as inviolable
rules rather than general guidance or preferences) of IESG
statements or positions (especially those not published in the
RFC Series), the question of whether general editorial decisions
and style-setting for the RFC Series lie with the IESG or the
RFC Editor, and those issues of the bar for blocking DISCUSSes
and the IESG's failure to adequately distinguish between the two
despite at least on earlier appeal.

One unfortunate, but I presume unavoidable, aspect of this is
that Adam was not on the Thursday IESG call when this draft was
on the agenda.  Because he was not available to participate in
the discussion and did not submit any clarifying material in
advance, the document, rather than being considered and probably
advanced or even specifically rescheduled, could not be
discussed and was dropped into an "AD followup" state with, so
far, no scheduled date for more of a discussion.

Whatever else you may think of my response to Adam's note
announcing the DISCUSS, it was an explicit indication to Adam
(and anyone else watching) that I intended to make this an
appeal issue and an outline of the issues I intended to raise.
That sort of indication, essentially a "please reconsider this,
if possible, before it gets out of hand" is a _requirement_ of
an appeal of an AD action.

But that is exactly the point.  Adam's position, as I understand
it, is that the IESG has set those rules and neither WGs nor the
RFC Editor has any discretion.

I think the comments above would be excellent input to a
discussion about whether the RFC Editor should do and what the
guidelines should be.  The issue here is whether the RFC Editor
should even have that authority/ discretion of whether this type
of editorial content is not only specified by the IESG in some
materials I believe are imprecise and badly-worked as well as
illegitimate as rules (Adam presumably disagrees) and than an
appropriate basis for blocking documents until they conform with
an AD's interpretation of those IESG specifications (Adam
presumably disagrees with that too).

Not a threat, but a promise.  If either the underlying issues
here did not go well beyond that particular action and that
particular editorial decision or if appeals were the heavyweight
action you seem to assume, I would not have written that note.

     best,
      john

John --

Thanks for sharing your rather extensive thoughts on this topic. I 
apologize that I was unable to meet your deadline of "today," as I was 
physically located in a part of the world that had limited to no data 
connectivity by the time you had sent it.

As Martin points out, I'm still rather junior at this position, and have 
been led to believe that the Discuss Criteria 
<https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html> has some 
fundamental authority to it. You will note, for example, that the 
DISCUSS ballot I entered was carefully selected, in a word-for-word 
fashion, from that document. I'm also under the impression that the 
current version of the ID-Checklist 
<https://www.ietf.org/id-info/checklist.html>, having had extensive 
discussions on the IETF mailing list, is a reflection of IETF consensus 
regarding the form and format of documents to be turned over to the RFC 
editor. Interpreted that way, I have concerns that I would be derelict 
in my duties if I allowed an author to unilaterally ignore guidance that 
has received IETF-wide review. I'll return to this in a moment.

I do very much appreciate that you had already formulated a compromise 
proposal with the intention of sharing it at some point. I find your 
intended formulation (as hinted by the snippet you included) to satisfy 
both word and spirit of the ID-Checklist provision for abstracts to 
indicate document obsoletion.

At the same time, you have raised a host of collateral points of 
interest regarding the provenance and maintenance of Discuss Criteria 
and ID-Checklist. If we had a common understanding of their authority, 
then the path forward would be clear: if these documents are merely 
advisory and have no power to bind, then I'm free to concede the point 
and allow you to push forward with a document that does not conform to 
their contents -- and would likely do so at this point. Alternately, if 
they are expected by the IETF community to be binding, then it would 
seem my duty to assist in their enforcement. We could hold the 
publication of this document until we were able to resolve which of 
these two situations is true, but it seems a mild disservice to the 
URNBIS working group to do so.

In an attempt to avoid delaying this document unnecessarily, I propose 
the following path forward:

 1. You provide your aforementioned compromise text to Alexey (in his
    role as sponsoring AD) for inclusion as an RFC Editor Note, and I
    will clear my DISCUSS position.

 2. As a tactical matter, you propose to the IESG a set of
    administrative updates to the ID-Checklist document reflecting those
    areas you believe it has fallen out of maintenance (e.g., the
    reference to an older version of the RFC style manual).  I would
    expect these to be mechanical and uncontroversial to apply.

 3. As a strategic matter, you or we begin a conversation with the IETF
    community at large regarding the provenance and authority of the
    Discuss Criteria and ID-Checklist documents. I do not want to
    presuppose the outcome of those conversations, so I suggest no
    specific potential conclusions. I'm happy to help you with
    formulation of the question, if you'd like, but I don't feel
    compelled to insert myself in doing so if you'd prefer to ask in
    your own terms.

 4. Subsequent to conclusion of that conversation, and contingent on its
    outcome, we begin a conversation with the IETF community at large
    regarding the ambiguities you perceive as being present in the
    ID-Checklist so that we can more precisely reflect an IETF consensus
    position in its contents.

      and have been led to believe that the Discuss Criteria
      <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html">&lt;https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html&gt;</a>
      has some fundamental authority to it. You will note, for example,
      that the DISCUSS ballot I entered was carefully selected, in a
      word-for-word fashion, from that document. I'm also under the
      impression that the current version of the ID-Checklist
      <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.ietf.org/id-info/checklist.html">&lt;https://www.ietf.org/id-info/checklist.html&gt;</a>, having had
      extensive discussions on the IETF mailing list, is a reflection of
      IETF consensus regarding the form and format of documents to be
      turned over to the RFC editor. Interpreted that way, I have
      concerns that I would be derelict in my duties if I allowed an
      author to unilaterally ignore guidance that has received IETF-wide
      review. I'll return to this in a moment.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I do very much appreciate that you had already formulated a
      compromise proposal with the intention of sharing it at some
      point. I find your intended formulation (as hinted by the snippet
      you included) to satisfy both word and spirit of the ID-Checklist
      provision for abstracts to indicate document obsoletion.<br>
    </p>
    <p>At the same time, you have raised a host of collateral points of
      interest regarding the provenance and maintenance of Discuss
      Criteria and ID-Checklist. If we had a common understanding of
      their authority, then the path forward would be clear: if these
      documents are merely advisory and have no power to bind, then I'm
      free to concede the point and allow you to push forward with a
      document that does not conform to their contents -- and would
      likely do so at this point. Alternately, if they are expected by
      the IETF community to be binding, then it would seem my duty to
      assist in their enforcement. We could hold the publication of this
      document until we were able to resolve which of these two
      situations is true, but it seems a mild disservice to the URNBIS
      working group to do so.<br>
    </p>
    <p>In an attempt to avoid delaying this document unnecessarily, I
      propose the following path forward:<br>
      <br>
    </p>
    <ol>
      <li>You provide your aforementioned compromise text to Alexey (in
        his role as sponsoring AD) for inclusion as an RFC Editor Note,
        and I will clear my DISCUSS position.<br>
        <br>
      </li>
      <li>As a tactical matter, you propose to the IESG a set of
        administrative updates to the ID-Checklist document reflecting
        those areas you believe it has fallen out of maintenance (e.g.,
        the reference to an older version of the RFC style manual).Â  I
        would expect these to be mechanical and uncontroversial to
        apply.<br>
        <br>
      </li>
      <li>As a strategic matter, you or we begin a conversation with the
        IETF community at large regarding the provenance and authority
        of the Discuss Criteria and ID-Checklist documents. I do not
        want to presuppose the outcome of those conversations, so I
        suggest no specific potential conclusions. I'm happy to help you
        with formulation of the question, if you'd like, but I don't
        feel compelled to insert myself in doing so if you'd prefer to
        ask in your own terms.<br>
        <br>
      </li>
      <li>Subsequent to conclusion of that conversation, and contingent
        on its outcome, we begin a conversation with the IETF community
        at large regarding the ambiguities you perceive as being present
        in the ID-Checklist so that we can more precisely reflect an

It may be helpful to note that I would support this resolution, or 
something like it. There are other resolutions that I would also 
support, of course.

If I might offer what I hope is a friendly amendment to Adam's proposal, 
I wouldn't mind seeing a list of the updates named in (2) before asking 
people to develop actual update text.

And thanks for making that proposal.

Spencer

 Please check and clear, if it looks reasonable to you.

Thank you,

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace Registration Transition'
  (draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition-08.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Uniform Resource Names, Revised Working
Group.

The IESG contact persons are Adam Roach, Alexey Melnikov and Ben Campbell.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-urnbis-ns-reg-transition/




Technical Summary

   This document follows from RFC 8141, which changed the registration requirements
   for formal URN namespaces.  This document clarifies the status of relevant older
   RFCs and advises IANA about some specific existing registrations.

Working Group Summary

   This document was written in order to make the status of certain bits of the
   URNBIS working group's work clear, and to take it out of the path of the
   document that became RFC 8141.  Much of what's in here was discussed before
   this document existed, and there has been ample discussion of and agreement
   to the content of it.  This is really a non-controversial housekeeping document,
   which is set to Standards Track only so as to cleanly obsolete some existing
   Standards Track RFCs and to request their reclassification to Historic.

Document Quality

   The real meat of what this document accomplishes has been submitted to IANA
   separately, as updated registration templates for the ISSN and ISBN URN
   namespaces. This document is mostly clarifies status of existing RFCs.

Personnel

   Barry Leiba is the document shepherd.
   Alexey Melnikov is the responsible AD.


RFC Editor Note

1) Please replace the last sentence at the end of the current Abstract:

   The original registration procedure for formal Uniform Resource Name
   (URN) namespaces required IETF Consensus.  That requirement
   discouraged some registrations and increased the risk for problems
   that could occur as a result.  The requirements have now been changed
   by RFC 8141, which adopts a different model, focusing on encouraging
   registration and publication of information for all appropriate
   namespaces. 

OLD:
   This document clarifies the status of relevant older
   RFCs and confirms and documents advice to IANA about selected
   existing registrations.

NEW:

   This document clarifies the status of relevant older
   RFCs and confirms and documents advice to IANA about selected
   existing registrations.  This document also makes the RFCs that
   describe the ISSN and ISBN namespaces obsolete and historic, as
   their descriptions now reside in registration templates.

2) RFC Editor should also consider whether including specific RFC
numbers for ISSN and ISBN in the above text is appropriate and
is consistent with the Style Guide.

Dear Sirs,

     If possible, I'd like to register the URN XSG so we can use urn:xsg 
in fastinfoset headers for binary encoded versions of our 3D web 
grammar, XSG.

XSG is similar to W3C Web3D but is an independently developed 
alternative 3D web standard for consideration.

I'd like this registering to avoid possible namespace collisions in 
future if someone else tries to register the URN for the same or some 
other purpose.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. XSG stands for 
eXtendible Scene Graph. It is an XML based grammar, optionally 
fastinfoset binary encoded.

It is used for designing and delivering 3D websites and can be 
considered a 3D/virtual reality equivalent of HTML. Further details on 
request.

Our browser is Windows only for now but XSG and our core technology is 
platform independent.

XSG examples can be seen running by installing our 3D web browser, 
linked below. Infinity caches files it accesses to 
[ProgramData]/Infinity/cache from where you can inspect them. Binary 
encoded xsg files can be converted into text equivalents by using the 
editxsg tool we provide. From Windows explorer, 'open with' editxsg 
provides text conversion for easy editing. The file is then converted 
back to binary when you're done.

Please forwards as required - not quite sure where this should go as I 
don't yet fully understand the URN registration procedure.

Best regards,
Steve Williams

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your inquiry. The process of registering a URN namespace
is defined in Section 6 of RFC 8141:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8141#section-6

See also Appendix A:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8141#appendix-A

A list of registered namespaces is maintained by IANA:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-namespaces/urn-namespaces.xhtml

In particular, the ISBN and ISSN namespace registrations were recently
updated to conform to the RFC 8141 template and thus they provide good
examples for you to consult as you work on a registration for XSG:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-formal/isbn

https://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-formal/issn

Let us know if you have further questions as you work on your
registration request.

Best Regards,

Peter

Hi,

I have updated my submission to reflect RFC 8141.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dma-dk/www.mrnregistry.org/gh-pages/iana-=
registration

There are some mentions in my submission to some guidelines at
http://www.mrnregistry.org regarding MRN assignment that are not yet
available. However, we are still figuring out the details and they will be
available in the near future.

Best
  Kasper

Hi Kasper,

Thank you for updating the registration proposal. I have two additional
comments, which you might want to address before submission to IANA
under the "fast track" process. Both topics are related to the fact that
some of the examples reflect standards outside of IALA and the "mrn"
namespace, such as MMSI numbers (defined in ITU recommendation M.585).

1. You might want to make it a bit clearer that such "external"
identifiers will not be defined as MRN URNs unless the relevant
organization (e.g., ITU) explicitly requests registration of an
Organization ID with IALA through mrnregistry.org.

2. How will the MRN namespace handle such external identifiers if in
their native format they include characters that are not allowed by the
URN syntax as defined in RFC 8141? Please see point 4 of Section 6.4.2
of RFC 8141 (as well as Section 2.2) for some guidance.

Best Regards,

Peter

Important Dates
---------------
- Submission of Abstracts: September 25, 2017
- Paper Submission:        October    2, 2017
- Conference:           Mar 19 - Mar 22, 2018


Description
-----------
Requirements Engineering (RE) is a critical factor in developing high-quali=
ty and successful software, systems and services. The REFSQ working confere=
nce series is a well-established international forum for discussing current=
 and state-of-the-art RE practices, now celebrating its 24th year. We are e=
xcited to hold REFSQ in Utrecht, returning to the location of the first REF=
SQ meeting in 1994. We very much welcome participants to attend REFSQ'18 in=
 the Netherlands.


Working Conference Format
-------------------------
REFSQ has a long tradition of being a highly structured and interactive eve=
nt. Each session is organised to emphasize discussion among the presenters =
of papers, pre-assigned discussants, and all the other participants. The RE=
FSQ'18 program will include keynote speakers, technical papers, research pr=
eviews, industrial presentations, as well as posters and tools. Workshops a=
nd the REFSQ doctoral symposium will be co-located with the main conference=
.


Scope
-----
REFSQ 2018 seeks reports of novel ideas and techniques that enhance the qua=
lity of RE products and processes, reflections on current research and indu=
strial RE practices, as well as new views on RE. We invite submissions on a=
ny aspect of RE. We encourage researchers and practitioners from the RE, so=
ftware engineering, information systems, service science, embedded systems,=
 and product management fields to present original work. RE methods, tools =
and processes are expected to support engineering diverse types of systems =
of different scale and complexity and are applied in diverse domains. As su=
ch, contributions from related areas such as systems engineering, economics=
, and management, providing insights to RE, are welcome. The special theme =
of REFSQ'18 is "RE and Digital Transformation" to emphasize an important is=
sue: what role can RE play in the dramatic changes that take place in our s=
ociety today to innovate and design new heterogeneous systems and services =
to fit the needs of users and to keep values of society.


Submissions
-----------
We invite original submissions in several categories:
-  Technical design papers (15 pages) describe the design of new artifacts,=
 i.e., novel solutions for requirements-related problems or significant imp=
rovements of existing solutions.
-  Scientific evaluation papers (15 pages) investigate existing real-world =
problems, evaluate existing real-world implemented artifacts, or validate n=
ewly designed artifacts, e.g., by means such as case studies, experiments, =
simulation, surveys, systematic literature reviews, mapping studies, or act=
ion research.
-  Vision papers (6 pages) state where research in the field should be head=
ing.
-  Research previews (6 pages) describe well-defined research ideas at an e=
arly stage of investigation which may not be fully developed.
-  Research method papers (15 pages) discuss methodological aspects of good=
 quality empirical RE research.  Conclusions should be supported by evidenc=
e.

Please submit your paper through the EasyChair system: https://goo.gl/RocwN=
a

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the your pointers. I should have addressed both of your
concerns (see inlined)
An updated version is available at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dma-dk/www.mrnregistry.org/gh-pages/iana-registration

Added the following to the example section

++++
It is important to note that even though IALA is the maintainer of the MRN
URN namespace it cannot define MRNs outside of the "urn:mrn:iala" namespace.
All of the above examples that are not in the "urn:mrn:iala" namespace,
requires that the relevant organization explicitly requests an Organization
ID with IALA.
++++

Added the following to the Syntax section

++++
If adopting existing non-URN based identifier systems that includes
characters not allowed by the URN syntax as specified in [RFC8141].
The representation of these characters should be handled by
percent-encoding
the character as specified in Section 2.1 of the URI specification
[RFC3986].
++++
