Hi. Thank you, Dale. It seems to me that with this approach to UID registration for URN, the procedure has degenerated and become useless for the wider community, organizations and institutions. Enormous opportunities are designed, but are doomed to remain useless like a cursed fig tree... We have no problem with this decision, but this triumph of uselessness is regrettable. Alas.

(See https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/urn/oU0Q5MLm0qMQjWb2Zh0IaOYoAOo/ and messages in that thread.) Some of those messages point to older discussions on the relevant mailing lists. But the consensus seems to be against granting URN NIDs for namespaces that are intended entirely for use internally to one enterprise. The suggestion has been made that VTB likely could satisfy its needs within the current URI infrastructure by using "tag" URIs. URIs have a slightly different syntax and semantics, but the differences aren't usually significant in practice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_URI_scheme In VTB's case, it would settle on a domain name that VTB owns and a particular date on which VTB owned the domain name. E.g. "vtb.com" and 2024-11-12. Then VTB can go ahead and use all of the identifiers with the format tag:vtb.com,2024-11-12:NSS where NSS can be any string conforming to the standard NSS syntax -- without any formalities.
