Re: [dow1-2tf] FW: RFC 3981 on IRIS: The Internet Registry Information Service (IRIS)Core Protocol

[Thomas Keller <tom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The IETF Standard Track is a rather complicated and long lasting
exercise (which is under discussing if I'm correct). Every protocol
has do go through varies iterations before it will be moved from
the status "Internet Draft" to "Draft Standard". Once the protocol
reached this status the develpment has been finished and is waiting
for implementation and a proof of concept. Out of this perspective
you could argue that CRISP already reached a standard level. Please
keep in mind that IDN was only a "Draft Standard" as well as the
the ICANN "regulated" registries started to implement it.

Just my two cents,
