Unless the IAOC and RFC Editor negotiated a particularly unusual
deal with the chosen DOI Registration Agency, probably not. In
general, signing up to issue DOIs carries with it not only a set

As Eliot said, it seems to be a request, not an obligation. The ACM and IEEE -
both of which assign DOIs for all their publications - are not turning down
papers because the authors didn't include DOIs in their bibliographies, and
neither would we.
