1. Introduction
Part Five of the Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) [RFC3405]
describes the registration procedures for assignments in URI.ARPA.
The document requires that registrations be in the "IETF tree" of URI
registrations. The use of URI scheme name trees was defined in RFC
2717 [RFC2717] but discontinued by RFC 4395 [RFC4395] and its
successors. Since the use of trees was discontinued, there is no way
in the current process set out in BCP 35 [RFC7595] to meet the
requirement to register within that tree.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. Updated Requirements
This document removes the normative requirement from RFC 3405
[RFC3405] for registrations in URI.ARPA to be from the IETF URI tree.
All registrations in URI.ARPA MUST now be for schemes that are
permanent registrations, as described in BCP 35.
3. IANA Considerations
This entire document is updated instructions to IANA.
4. Security Considerations
This update does not change the security considerations in RFC 3405
[RFC3405].
