final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2008-04-15. Exceptionally,
comments may be sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case,

I support this draft going forward. I believe, in particular, that the choice
of
"Specification Required, Designated Expert" is the best match here. I had a
set of conversations
with Jon and the authors on this over the course of the last couple of
iterations,
and I believe the result will help prevent unregistered parameters in
"closed" environments, give sufficient review to encourage well thought-out
extensions, and generally support interoperability in this space. Like
everything,
it does represent some compromises, but I believe they are the right ones
for this URI parameter registry.
regards,
Ted Hardie
