As a result of the discussion on the -19 version of the draft (where
"IANA" was replaced with "IANA Services" throughout, and related
changes were made), the IETF Trust agreed on the alternative of
putting a paragraph at the beginning (the second paragraph in the
Introduction in version -20), and then reverting most of the other
changes in -19.
Version -20 now only has the paragraph that explains that we call
<this stuff> "IANA" in this document, plus a few minor changes that
came out in IESG Evaluation.
We believe the document is now ready to publish, having been through
Last Call and IESG Evaluation, and ask Terry, as responsible AD, to
send this version off.
Thanks, everyone, for the comments!

Abstract:
Many protocols make use of points of extensibility that use constants
to identify various protocol parameters. To ensure that the values
used in these fields do not have conflicting uses, and to promote
interoperability, their allocation is often coordinated by a central
record keeper. For IETF protocols, that role is filled by the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
To make assignments in a given registry prudently, guidance is needed
for describing the conditions under which new values should be
assigned, as well as when and how modifications to existing values
can be made. This document defines a framework for the documentation
of these guidelines by specification authors, in order to assure that
the provided guidance for the IANA Considerations is clear and
addresses the various issues that are likely in the operation of a
registry.
This is the third edition of this document; it obsoletes RFC 5226.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
