I proposed a set of fields to go in this registry last week ()

To reiterate them:

Name,  Maintaining Organisation,  TLD,  Purpose,  I-D,  Licensable

- Name is the name of the extension
- Maintaining Organisation is whoever is responsible for it now
- TLD is only included if the extension is limited to one TLD
- Purpose is a paragraph explaining what this extension is for
- I-D is the name of the IETF I-D if one exists
- Licensable is intended to tell others if they can legally use it, which should be either "No", "Maybe" or "Yes" with details of the appropriate license.

Any thoughts on those?

I used 'Maintaining Organisation' instead of 'registry' because I think the term registry will soon become confusing.  There will soon be backend registry providers who set the technical standards for a whole bunch of TLDs that contract with them, but the term 'registry' will be used both to apply to them and to the TLD operator that they are contracting with.

It's also not going to be practical to list the full set of TLDs that use a particular extension when it might number in the hundreds.
