I read draft-housley-number-registries-02. I don't see the purpose
of identifying
IANA registries when there are already registries (e.g. IPv4
Special-Purpose Address Registry and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address
Registry Entries) which can be used to identify the entries used
within the IETF. There is a registry for IPv4 addresses at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ It's unlikely
that it will be changed as the global IPv4 address pool has run
out. There is a registry for IPv6 addresses at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space/
The draft gets into a discussion about a reservation of the
numbers. There isn't anything in the draft which directly identifies
IANA registries. Quoting RFC 7020:
"Per the delineation of responsibility for Internet address policy
issues specified in the IETF/IAB/ICANN MOU [RFC2860], discussions
regarding the evolution of the Internet Numbers Registry System
structure, policy, and processes are to take place within the ICANN
framework and will respect ICANN's core values [ICANNBL]."
Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 of this draft is in contradiction with
the above by getting into the details of the framework. By the way,
the reference for RFC 7020 and RFC 1112 are missing.
