Please see my preceding post on IETF/IANA relations (IETF 89, meeting)
The IANA comes from the IETF. The arrangement is RFC 2860. It can be
changed if ICANN does not adhere to the IETF values anymore. These
core values are expressed in RFC 3935 and a new paradigm is defined
in RFC 6852. IETF does not only produce parameters, it also produces
RFCs. What happens if IETF simplifies and stabilises as other SDOs do
and only publishes through the RFC Editor (IANA is just following the
RFC IANA sections).
In addition, IETF is not the only one to produce communications
technologies related parameters. ITU, ISO, Unicode, JTC1, W3C, IEEE,
etc. are. ICANN could. VGNICS will. Most are publishing parameters.
VGNICS intends to gather and publish them as an internet MDRS
ontology for VGNICs' operational use. Question, will the VGNICS copy
the IANA or apply the RFCs. What if there are discrepancies? What if
the projected MDRS is right and the IANA is wrong?
At the presentime DNSA is a vapor, the MDRS is a long standing
project, with tables in development for years and a site. So these
things are not real yet, but they might be soon. They have to be
designed consistantly.
All this is very confuse.
