This draft proposes a policy for defining new non-emergency service labels to address the need for descriptive terms for location-based services. It suggests a classification system and updates the IANA section of RFC 5031 for adding top-level service labels.

Introduction • Non-emergency location-based services are widespread • Descriptive terms for such services are almost unbounded • A policy for defining new non-emergency service labels is needed ECRIT - IETF 74 (March 2009) - San Francisco
Current Approach • New service identifying labels • Creating a new service requires IANA action • Policy for adding top-level service labels is ‘Standard Action’ • True for both emergency and non-emergency services ECRIT - IETF 74 (March 2009) - San Francisco
Proposed Solution • Emergency Services • Limited number of possible services • Classification is critical • Adding top-level emergency services still requires standard action • Non-emergency services • Very large number of possible services • Classification is less critical • Updating IANA section of RFC 5031 • Policy for adding top-level service labels is "Expert Review". • The expert is designated by the RAI Area Director.
