Hi Jochen,<br>
<br>
Thank you for making this request=2E I'm happy to see work continuing on <=
br>
the CTS registration, which we originally discussed on this list back in <=
br>
2019 (unfortunately the discussion petered out and we never completed <br>
the registration process):<br>
<br>
<a href=3D"https://mailarchive=2Eietf=2Eorg/arch/msg/urn/Rr1IBx-tWGcefB4aK=
GeyNaxCKCo/">https://mailarchive=2Eietf=2Eorg/arch/msg/urn/Rr1IBx-tWGcefB4a=
KGeyNaxCKCo/</a><br>
<br>
Just curious: have you collaborated with Neel Smith and Chris Blackwell <b=
r>
on this registration, or are they no longer actively working on the <br>
project? Coincidentally I contacted them last month about CTS/CITE URNs <b=
r>
but haven't heard back yet=2E<br>
<br>
In the next few days I will take a closer look at the registration <br>
request and provide feedback on this list=2E<br>
<br>
