RE: upcoming w3c coordination agenda item

["Michelle S. Cotton" <cotton@icann.org>]

Leslie,

I don't remember discussing this with Ned in much detail.
However, I would like to.  

I'm wondering how this affects how we name and create registries
now.  We are working on automation techniques and I'm not sure
if that will be affected either.  This needs a broader discussion,
internally here as well as with IAB and IESG.

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow.  When I get back, I'll schedule
a meeting with Ned to discuss this in detail.

Is this a sufficient plan for you?  I don't want to rush into
anything with this.

Let me know.

Thank you,

Michelle

Subject: upcoming w3c coordination agenda item



>From the minutes of the IETF-W3C coordination call of June, 

http://www.w3.org/2003/03/13-ietf-w3c.html

there is an action item to follow up with IANA re. naming of (items in) 
registries.    WE'll be reviewing the status of that action item
on the next call -- Tuesday of next week.

There is a specific proposal ([0]), and Ned had the action item to
follow up with IANA.  I dropped a note to Ned to find out what the
status of things is, but I believe he's probably got much more important
things on his mind.  He won't be on the call.  However, since this item
has been trailing for quite a while, I'd like to have something more
concrete to say on Tuesday's call.  

I don't think the proposal in [0] is reasonable, because I don't
share the W3C's perspective that it's reasonable to declare that
you'll never change your domain name or file organization.  Or,
do we have to live with that?  Comments?

Leslie.

P.S.:  Explicitly copying IANA, even though IANA is on IESG list,
because I'd specifically like to hear her input...
