Hi John,

The IANA Protocol Registries state that Graham Klyne is the current
Designated Expert for URI schemes.

  http://www.iana.org/protocols/

Note that RFC 4395 says:

"In the case of a permanent registration request, the Designated Expert
may:

 o  Accept the URI scheme name for permanent registration.
 o  Suggest provisional registration instead.
 o  Request IETF review and IESG approval; in the meanwhile, suggest
     provisional registration."

That last means "publish as an RFC", and has been the typical process
for permanent URI schemes for years now.

Cheers,
- Ira
