The current policy says: "Specification Required”. That means that one can request new values if it can be demonstrated that a specification requires it (i.e. one would have to provide the URL of an SDO document). So it could be done either in IETF or CCSDS. And when specification is done, then send a request to IANA for registering the values. The designated experts <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(identified in the meta data of the registry)</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> may be requested to review the specification document if it is not clear for the values requested from the IANA staff perspective. </span>A point to note: in typical registries, a requestor is not asking specific bits or code points. IANA does assign them “for you”. One of the reasons is that they may currently have other parallel requests for the same registry being processed and the fact that one look at the registry with available values does not really reflect reality. But if one really wants specific bits, then in the request to IANA, one has to justify (on the engineering side) why these specific bits/code points. In that context, the designated experts will likely be asked to confirm the engineering justification. </div><div><br></div><div>This note is to help people understand the process. </div><div><br></div><div>Marc (who helped on contract IANA for 15 years… and started SANA using IANA as an inspiration…)</div><div><br></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><ol start="1" type="1" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span>No matter whether we want to use BCPF or not, I think something should end up in the CCSDS BB as soon as possible.
