Future Enumservice Registration Process

Hi all

*** Please comment until Wednesday, Nov 05 ***

One major issue in draft-ietf-enum-enumservices-guide-05.txt seems to be, 
which process to apply for future Enum service registrations. I went 
through existing similar IANA processes and found at least four variants, 
how a registration document can be processed:

  A) Author -> IESG -> Expert Review -> IESG -> IANA -> Publication

  B) Author -> Expert Review -> IESG -> IANA -> Publication

  C) Author -> IANA -> Expert Review -> IANA -> Publication

  D) Author -> IESG -> IANA -> Expert Review -> IANA -> Publication


In the current revision of draft-ietf-enum-enumservices-guide-05.txt 
process B) is documented, however I am tending to replace it by process 
A), as this way the responsibilities are much more clear.

In case registrations should be made without IESG looking at it, C) 
could be the choice. Maybe for experimental Enumservice registrations this
makes sense. If we want to apply such a simple process for normal 
Enumservice registrations, a major change in RFC 3761 is needed, as 
RFC 3761 states: "Enumservice registrations needs to be Standards Track, 
Experimental or BCP"

What do you think about? In case there it no major opposition within the 
next 5 days, I'll rewrite draft-ietf-enum-enumservices-guide-06.txt in 
favour of process A) and submit it for the Vancouver meeting.

cheers,
  Bernie
