Document: draft-ietf-enum-enumservices-guide-20.txt Reviewer: Miguel Garcia Review Date: 16-June-2010 IETF LC End Date: IESG Telechat date: (if known) Summary: The document is almost ready for publication as a BCP. Major issues: none. Minor issues: - Section 6.5: The text reads: IANA will conduct an "Expert Review" ... I guess a designated expert will conduct the review. At most (specially for non-RFC Specifications), IANA will make sure that an Expert Review has been done. - Section 11.6.1 discusses the process of registering Enumservices through the publication of an RFC. I don't understand the purpose of the second paragraph, which chances the process to IANA. The text reads: IANA MUST only add Enumservices to the Registry, if the experts have approved the corresponding Enumservice Specification as to be published. IANA SHOULD attempt to resolve possible conflicts arising from this together with the experts. In case changes between the approved and the to be published version are substantial, IANA MAY reject the request after consulting the experts. My problem is related to the process. If a document has gone through the RFC publication process, I expect that experts have inspected the document and approved the Specification prior to publication as an RFC, as part of a regular RFC process. This process may differ between standard track RFCs and individual submissions, but in any case, experts are involved in the RFC publication process, and the RFC will not be published if experts voice against the document. Or when do the authors expect that an Internet-Draft could be published without expert review? So, I think that for RFCs, IANA does not need to do anything different from what they are doing today.
