The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'URN Namespace Definition
Mechanisms' <draft-ietf-urn-nid-req-08.txt> as a BCP.  This document is
the product of the Uniform Resource Names Working Group.  The IESG
contact persons are Keith Moore and Patrik Faltstrom.

Technical Summary
 
 This document describes a procedure for registering namespaces
 to be used in Uniform Resource Names.

Working Group Summary

 There was extensive discussion about these issues in the working group
 until these rules could be settled on, but the working group had
 consensus on this set of rules.

Protocol Quality

 If they are followed, these rules will be adequate to ensure proper
 assignment of namespaces and global uniqueness of URNs.

 Keith Moore reviewed the specification for IESG.
