How Requests for IANA Action Will Be Handled on the Independent Stream

Overview

RFC 8726, “How Requests for IANA Action Will Be Handled on the Independent Stream”, is an Informational document published in November 2020 by A. Farrel. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains registries to track code points used by protocols such as those defined by the IETF and documented in RFCs developed on the IETF Stream.

The Independent Submission 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 Submission Stream that request actions from IANA. Nothing in this document changes existing IANA registries or their allocation policies, nor does it change any previously documented processes.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.
