It was announced by David Conrad, director of IANA, at the APRICOT conference in Perth in january 2006 and confirmed more recently by a private email from Kim Davies, IANA. You can email them if you want to check: David Conrad <david.conrad at icann.org> Kim Davies <kim.davies at icann.org> > IANA can't simply reformat all their registries when they feel like > it. I disagree: most registries have no format specification at all, the RFC is silent about it. I believe that the LTR is an exception, not the rule, since its authoritative RFC mandates a registry format. _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
