URN for Country-Specific Emergency Services

Overview

RFC 7163, “URN for Country-Specific Emergency Services”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2014 by C. Holmberg, I. Sedlacek. It updates RFC 5031. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document updates the registration guidance provided in Section 4.2 of RFC 5031, which allows the registration of service URNs with the 'sos' service type only for emergency services "that are offered widely and in different countries". This document updates those instructions to allow such registrations when, at the time of registration, those services are offered in only one country.

What “Proposed Standard” means
