1. Introduction
Table 1 shows the policy for registration of sub-services of the
service URN with the 'sos' service type, as defined in section 4.2.
of RFC 5031 [RFC5031].
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an |
| immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the |
| government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services |
| can be added after expert review and must be of general public |
| interest and have a similar emergency nature. The expert is |
| designated by the ECRIT working group, its successor, or, in |
| their absence, the IESG. The expert review should only approve |
| emergency services that are offered widely and in different |
| countries, with approximately the same caller expectation in |
| terms of services rendered. The 'sos' service is not meant to |
| invoke general government, public information, counseling, or |
| social services. |

Table 1: Excerpt from RFC 5031 section 4.2.
Some existing emergency services are, at least initially, offered in
one country only. Examples are the "Reporting spies" emergency
service offered in South Korea and the "GAULA (anti-kidnapping)"
emergency service offered in Colombia according to http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_telephone_number. Future emergency
service might also initially be introduced in one country only.
The policy for registration of sub-services of the service URN with
the 'sos' service type, as defined in RFC 5031 [RFC5031], prevents
Holmberg & Sedlacek Expires September 20, 2013 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft country specific emergency services March 2013
the registration of a sub-service of the service URN with the 'sos'
service type for a service that, at the time of registration, is
offered in one country only.
This document updates section 4.2 of RFC 5031, in order to allow the
registration of service URNs with the 'sos' service type for
emergency services that, at the time of registration, are offered in
one country only.
2. Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119
[RFC2119].
3. Problem statement
The policy for registration of sub-services of the service URN with
the 'sos' service type, as defined in RFC 5031 [RFC5031], prevents
the registration of a sub-service of the service URN with the 'sos'
service type for an emergency service that, at the time of
registration, is offered in one country only.
4. Requirement
REQ-1: It MUST be possible to register with IANA a sub-service of the
service URN with the 'sos' service type as, defined in RFC 5031
[RFC5031], for an emergency service offered in one country only.
5. Update to RFC 5031
5.1. General
This section document updates replaces the text of the section 4.2
(Sub-Services for the 'sos' Service) of RFC 5031 with the text of
section 6.3 of this document.
5.2. Original text of section 4.2 of RFC 5031
This section defines the first service registration within the IANA
registry defined in Section 4.1, using the top-level service label
'sos'.
The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an
immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the
government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services can
be added after expert review and must be of general public interest
Holmberg & Sedlacek Expires September 20, 2013 [Page 3]

and have a similar emergency nature. The expert is designated by the
ECRIT working group, its successor, or, in their absence, the IESG.
The expert review should only approve emergency services that are
offered widely and in different countries, with approximately the
same caller expectation in terms of services rendered. The 'sos'
service is not meant to invoke general government, public
information, counseling, or social services.
urn:service:sos The generic 'sos' service reaches a public safety
answering point (PSAP), which in turn dispatches aid appropriate
to the emergency. It encompasses all of the services listed
below.
urn:service:sos.ambulance This service identifier reaches an
ambulance service that provides emergency medical assistance and
transportation.
urn:service:sos.animal-control Animal control typically enforces
laws and ordinances pertaining to animal control and management,
investigates cases of animal abuse, educates the community in
responsible pet ownership and wildlife care, and provides for the
housing and care of homeless animals, among other animal-related
services.
urn:service:sos.fire The 'fire' service identifier summons the fire
service, also known as the fire brigade or fire department.
urn:service:sos.gas The 'gas' service allows the reporting of
natural gas (and other flammable gas) leaks or other natural gas
emergencies.
urn:service:sos.marine The 'marine' service refers to maritime
search and rescue services such as those offered by the coast
guard, lifeboat, or surf lifesavers.
urn:service:sos.mountain The 'mountain' service refers to mountain
rescue services (i.e., search and rescue activities that occur in
a mountainous environment), although the term is sometimes also
used to apply to search and rescue in other wilderness
environments.
urn:service:sos.physician The 'physician' emergency service connects
the caller to a physician referral service.
urn:service:sos.poison The 'poison' service refers to special
information centers set up to inform citizens about how to respond
to potential poisoning. These poison control centers maintain a

Internet-Draft country specific emergency services March 2013
database of poisons and appropriate emergency treatment.
urn:service:sos.police The 'police' service refers to the police
department or other law enforcement authorities.
5.3. New text replacing section 4.2 of RFC 5031
This section defines the first service registration within the IANA
registry defined in Section 4.1, using the top-level service label
'sos'.
The 'sos' service type describes emergency services requiring an
immediate response, typically offered by various branches of the
government or other public institutions. Additional sub-services can
be added after expert review. The expert is designated by the ECRIT
working group, its successor, or, in their absence, the IESG. The
expert review should only approve services that have emergency
nature, that are offered in at least one country, that do not match
description of any existing service URN with the 'sos' service type,
and where the service description and the URN are defined as broadly
as possible to encourage reuse. The 'sos' service is not meant to
invoke general government, public information, counseling, or social
services.
urn:service:sos The generic 'sos' service reaches a public safety
answering point (PSAP), which in turn dispatches aid appropriate
to the emergency. It encompasses all of the services listed
below.
urn:service:sos.ambulance This service identifier reaches an
ambulance service that provides emergency medical assistance and
transportation.
urn:service:sos.animal-control Animal control typically enforces
laws and ordinances pertaining to animal control and management,
investigates cases of animal abuse, educates the community in
responsible pet ownership and wildlife care, and provides for the
housing and care of homeless animals, among other animal-related
services.
urn:service:sos.fire The 'fire' service identifier summons the fire
service, also known as the fire brigade or fire department.
urn:service:sos.gas The 'gas' service allows the reporting of
natural gas (and other flammable gas) leaks or other natural gas

emergencies.
urn:service:sos.marine The 'marine' service refers to maritime
search and rescue services such as those offered by the coast
guard, lifeboat, or surf lifesavers.
urn:service:sos.mountain The 'mountain' service refers to mountain
rescue services (i.e., search and rescue activities that occur in
a mountainous environment), although the term is sometimes also
used to apply to search and rescue in other wilderness
environments.
urn:service:sos.physician The 'physician' emergency service connects
the caller to a physician referral service.
urn:service:sos.poison The 'poison' service refers to special
information centers set up to inform citizens about how to respond
to potential poisoning. These poison control centers maintain a
database of poisons and appropriate emergency treatment.
urn:service:sos.police The 'police' service refers to the police
department or other law enforcement authorities.
6. IANA Considerations
OPEN ISSUE: Do we need to request IANA to take the updated section
into consideration, or is IANA expected to do that by default, as the
document updates the RFC 5031 procedures?
7. Change Log
[RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please remove this section when publishing]
Changes from draft-holmberg-ecrit-country-emg-urn-01
o Technical fix: Instead of creating a new sub-tree, the 'sos'
registration rules in RFC 5031 are updated, to allow registration
of URNs that, at the time of registration, are specific to a
single country.
Changes from draft-holmberg-ecrit-country-emg-urn-00
o Editorial fix: cannot be not fulfilled -> cannot be fulfilled
