1. Introduction
Per [RFC3406], Uniform Resource Names(URN) formal namespace
identifier (NID) registration requires the publication of an RFC from
the requestor. Experience shows that this requirement is too high.
This document updates the IANA registration policy for formal NID.
This document only updates the registration policy of the formal
namespace, as described in section 4.3 of [RFC3406].
2. Formal Namespace Registration Policy
This section replaces section 4.3 of [RFC3406].
Formal NIDs are assigned by IANA through Expert Review, as defined in
[RFC5226].
The requested NID string must:
not be an already-registered NID
not start with "x-"
not start with "urn-"
not start with "XY-", where XY is any combination of 2 ASCII
letters (see NOTE, below)
be more than 2 letters long
NOTE: ALL two-letter combinations, and two-letter combinations
followed by "-" and any sequence of valid NID characters are reserved
for potential use as countrycode-based NIDs for eventual national
registrations of URN namespaces. The definition and scoping of rules
for allocation of responsibility for such namespaces is beyond the
scope of this document.
3. URN Namespace Definition Template

4. IANA Considerations
This document updates the registration policy for URN formal
namespaces.
