Abstract

Many Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocols make use ofcommonly defined values that are passed in messages or packets. Toensure consistent interpretation of these values between independentimplementations, there is a need to ensure that the values andassociated semantic intent are uniquely defined. The IETF usesregistry functions to record assigned protocol parameter values andtheir associated semantic intentions. For each IETF protocolparameter, it is current practice for the IETF to delegate the roleof Protocol Parameter Registry Operator to a nominated entity. Thisdocument provides a description of, and the requirements for, thesedelegated functions. This document obsoletes RFC 6220 to replace allreferences to the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) andrelated structures with those defined by the IASA 2.0 Model.
