Changing the Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Location Profiles
Registry Policy
Abstract
This document changes the policy of the "Location-to-Service
Translation (LoST) Location Profiles" IANA registry established by
RFC 5222 from Standards Action to Specification Required. This
allows standards development organizations (SDOs) other than the IETF
to add new values.

1. Introduction
The Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Protocol [RFC5222] uses a
location profile when conveying location (e.g., in a mapping request
and a service boundary result). [RFC5222] established an IANA
registry of location profiles [reg] with a registry policy of
Standards Action. This requires a Standards Track RFC for any new
registry values. The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) is
a standards development organization (SDO) that makes significant use
of LoST in its emergency call specifications (e.g., [NENA-i3]) and
has identified a need for additional location profiles. This
document changes the registry policy to Specification Required,
allowing other SDOs such as NENA to add values.
2. Document Scope
This document changes the policy of the "Location-to-Service
Translation (LoST) Location Profiles" IANA registry [reg] established
by [RFC5222] from Standards Action to Specification Required (as
defined in [RFC8126]). This allows SDOs other than the IETF to add
new values.
3. Security Considerations
No new security considerations are identified by this change in
registry policy.
4. IANA Considerations
IANA has changed the policy of the "Location-to-Service Translation
(LoST) Location Profiles" registry (established by [RFC5222]) to
Specification Required. IANA has also added this document as a
reference for the registry. The Expert Reviewer is designated per
[RFC8126]. The reviewer should verify that:
* the proposed new value is specified by the IETF, NENA, or a
similar SDO in which location profiles are in scope;
* the proposed new value has a clear need (which includes there not
being an existing profile that meets the need); and
* the profile specification is unambiguous and interoperable.

Many thanks to Ted Hardie for his helpful review and suggestions and
to Guy Caron for his suggestion to clarify that "clear need" includes
there not being an existing profile.
