4.7. RFC Required

4.7. RFC Required​

With the RFC Required policy, the registration request, along with associated documentation, must be published in an RFC. The RFC need not be in the IETF stream, but may be in any RFC stream (currently an RFC may be in the IETF, IRTF, IAB, or Independent Submission streams [RFC5742]).

Unless otherwise specified, any type of RFC is sufficient (currently Standards Track, BCP, Informational, Experimental, or Historic).

Examples:

  • DNSSEC DNS Security Algorithm Numbers [RFC6014]
  • Media Control Channel Framework registries [RFC6230]
  • DANE TLSA Certificate Usages [RFC6698]
