DISPATCH
This document updates RFC 3405 by removing
references to the IETF tree from the procedures for requesting
that a URI scheme be inserted into the uri.arpa zone.
Introduction
Part five of the Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS),
RFC 3405,
describes the registration procedures for assignments in
URI.ARPA. The document requires that registrations be in the
"IETF tree" of URI registrations. The use of URI scheme name
trees was defined in
RFC 2717 but discontinued by RFC 4395 and its successors. Since the
use of trees was discontinued, there is no way in the current
process set out in BCP
35 to meet the requirement to register within that
tree.
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 when, and only
when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.
Updated Requirements
This document removes the normative requirement
from RFC 3405 for registrations in URI.ARPA to be from the IETF URI Tree.
All registrations in URI.ARPA MUST now be for schemes which
are permanent registrations, as they are described in BCP 35.
IANA Considerations
This entire document is updated instructions to IANA.
Security Considerations
This update does not change the Security Considerations in RFC 3405

Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels
In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Ambiguity of Uppercase vs Lowercase in RFC 2119 Key Words
RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings.

This document is fifth in a series that is completely specified in "Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part One: The Comprehensive DDDS" (RFC 3401). It is very important to note that it is impossible to read and understand any document in this series without reading the others.
