Introduction This document provides a guide to the creation of new IANA registrations of experimental Enumservices. This document aims to enhance section 3 of RFC 3761 [2], where the registration procedure for Enumservices was initially documented at a high level. It further complements the Guide and Template for IANA Registrations of Enumservices [3]. The Experimental Enumservice registration is intended to allow people to use the normal Enumservice template to describe what X- Enumservice strings exist in NAPTRs and to describe how they are used, but not (yet) to require a full IETF review and change control. This is needed as some trials use URL schemes that are not registered, and so cannot be used in Standards Track Enumservice registrations. Also, until trials have been completed, it may not be appropriate to produce a Standards Track document, as Enumservice syntax details, use and issues of security / privacy may not have been analysed fully at that point. For the purpose of this document, 'registration document' and 'registration' refers to an Internet Draft proposing the IANA registration of an experimental Enumservice following the procedures outlined above. 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1]. 3. Required Sections and Information A document for registration of experimental is similar to a ordinary Enumservice registration as described in Guide and Template for IANA Registrations of Enumservices [3] except for the following: o Enumservice Name: The Service name contains the string experimental, or it is prefixed with "X-" e.g. "X-Foo" Hoeneisen Expires September 17, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Eperimental Enumservice Registrations Mar 2007 o Enumservice Type: The Type MUST be prefixed with "x-". e.g. "x-foo" o URI Schemes: The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) [5] Schemes, which are used with an experimental Enumservice do not necessarily need to be documented in an IETF document. In case there is no publically referencable document, the URI Scheme MUST be described in the registration document. o Functional Specification: This section quite depends on how much publically available documentation about the service already exists. o Intended Usage: For the Intended Usage RFC 3761 [2] is extended with "EXPERIMENTAL", "PRIVATE", and "TRIAL". One of those is to be used. e.g. "TRIAL" 4. Expert Review A new experimental Enumservice MUST undergo Expert Review before publication. This expert review will include an initial evaluation of whether this specification will have issues in transferring to a Standards Track document (for example, if it uses an unregistered URL scheme, or that the security and privacy analysis is incomplete at this stage). It will also indicate whether the use of this Enumservice will clash with any others or cause damage to other compliant ENUM components, and should be used only in private configurations where all involved components are aware of its use. The results of such an expert review should be appended to the specification and will be recorded along with the specification itself. However, the exact procedure is to be defined.

Security Considerations Since this document does not introduce any technology or protocol, there are no security issues to be considered for this memo itself. 6. IANA Considerations This document introduces three new strings for Intended Usage as defined in RFC 3761 [2]. These new strings are: "EXPERIMENTAL", "PRIVATE", and "TRIAL". The revision of RFC 3761 [2] RFC3761bis [4] shall contain the new string. In case the revision is not yet ready at publication time of this memo, an intermediary regime needs to be defined. An IANA Registry for experimental Enumservices is to be defined. 7. Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank Alexander Mayrhofer and Lawrence Conroy for their contributions to this document. 8.

Open Issues [RFC Editor: This section should be empty before publication] o Sync with RFC3761bis: e.g. Intended Usage "EXPERIMENTAL", "PRIVATE", and "TRIAL" o Is there a need for "duration of Registration?" o Define process for Expert Review o Will there be an additional (IANA) Registry or just use the same IANA Registy as for ordinary Enumservice registrations?" o Require a first Security analyses for trial registrations?
