How Requests for IANA Action Will be Handled on the Independent Stream
draft-ise-iana-policy-03
Abstract
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains registries
to track codepoints used by protocols such as those defined by the
IETF and documented in RFCs developed on the IETF Stream.
The Independent Submissions Stream is another source of documents
that can be published as RFCs. This stream is under the care of the
Independent Submissions Editor (ISE).
This document complements RFC 4846 by providing a description of how
the ISE currently handles documents in the Independent Submissions
Stream that request actions from the IANA. Nothing in this document
changes existing IANA registries or their allocation policies, nor
does it change any previously documented processes.
Status of This Memo

1. Introduction
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains registries
to track codepoints used by protocols such as those defined by the
IETF and documented in RFCs developed on the IETF Stream. A full
list of registries and code points can be found at
<https://www.iana.org/protocols>.
Requests may be made to IANA for actions to create registries or to
allocate code points from existing registries. Procedures for these
operations are described in [RFC8126].
Many requests for IANA action are included in documents that are
progressed for publication as RFCs. RFCs may be sourced from within
the IETF (on the IETF Stream), but may also be sourced from other
streams including the Independent Submissions Stream (the Independent
Stream) as described in [RFC4846]. The Independent Stream is under
the care of the Independent Submissions Editor (ISE).
This document complements [RFC4846] by providing a description of how
the ISE currently handles documents in the Independent Stream that
request actions from the IANA. Nothing in this document changes
existing IANA registries or their allocation policies, nor does it
change any previously documented processes.
