RE: Quick question on isakmp-registry.

["IANA" <iana@iana.org>]

The folks who applied did mention the following
I-D: <draft-ietf-ipsec-dpd-02.txt>.

Hopefully this will become an RFC.

I guess I will go ahead and make the assignments
unless there are any objections.

I belive to change the procedures a document
should be written.  Paul Hoffman was working
on the IPSEC/ISAKMP registries clean-up, maybe
he would be able to assist?  Just a suggestion.

Thanks,

Michelle

I believe you're corect, but I wish you weren't...  It looks like that 
registry was never locked down properly.  That should be either IETF 
Consensus or Standards Action.  I'm not sure how that is fixed, 
procedurally, but it should be.
