Kurt, I like this document. Good initiative! Suggest adding some verbiage to REQUIRE the use of IANA registered OIDs in LDAP-related RFCs. I have seen way too many private and non-coordinated OIDs in the past. I think this practice should be discouraged since OIDs that are "owned" by a private organization is not guaranteed to be unique and the definition could be changed without proper review. Non-coordinated OIDs do not even deserve a comment ;-) Cheers, ....Erik.

This draft is a work item of the LDAP (v3) Revision Working Group of the IETF. Title : IANA Considerations for LDAP Author(s) : K. Zeilenga Filename : draft-ietf-ldapbis-iana-01.txt Pages : 17 Date : 12-Apr-01 This document provides procedures for registering extensible elements of LDAP. The document also provides guidelines to IANA describing conditions under which new values can be assigned. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapbis-iana-01.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-ldapbis-iana-01.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapbis-iana-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
