ecrit B. Rosen Internet-Draft Neustar, Inc Intended status: Informational H. Schulzrinne Expires: May 3, 2018 Columbia University October 30, 2017 A Subregistry for urn:service:sos.police, fire and ambulance draft-rosen-ecrit-service-urn-subregistries-01 Abstract In most countries, there are multiple kinds of police forces. RFC5031 defines a "Service URN" which is used to route emergency calls. The urn has a sub registry for different kinds of emergency services that may be reached from different telephone numbers or service numbers (as opposed to a single number like 112). In many countries, the "police" service is not a single service, but more than one service where the service area and/or types of emergencies they respond to are different. In some countries there are multiple ambulance services. This document defines sub registries for urn:service:sos.police, urn:service:sos.ambulance and, for completeness, urn:service:sos.fire. It also provides an initial set of entries for these sub registries. These services are in addition to the base urn:service:sos.police, etc. services.

Police Force Types This document extends the urn:service:sos.police to allow the system to distinguish law enforcement agencies. The type of law enforcement agency is a token separated from urn:service.sos.police by a period. The token names are suggestive of the names for different kinds of police forces but is not supposed to be the literal name of the force. IANA is requested to add a sub registry to the Service URN Labels under sos Sub-Services entitled sos.police Sub-Services. The registry should have Service, Description and References as in the other sub registries for the service urn. The Registration Procedure is Expert review. The expert shall use the same criteria as the other urn:service:sos entries. The initial values of the sub registry are: Rosen & Schulzrinne Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Police/Fire/Ambulance Subregistries October 2017 +-----------------------+-----------+-------------------------------+ | Service | Reference | Description | +-----------------------+-----------+-------------------------------+ | sos.police.national | this | A police force serving an | | | document | entire nation | | | | | | sos.police.provincial | this | A police force serving a | | | document | province or state | | | | | | sos.police.county | this | A police force serving a | | | document | county | | | | | | sos.police.municipal | this | A police force serving a | | | document | city, town or other | | | | incorporated municipality | | | | | | sos.police.tourist | this | A police force serving the | | | document | needs of international | | | | tourists | | | | | | sos.police.traffic | this | A police force ensuring | | | document | compliance with traffic laws, | | | | directing traffic and | | | | handling vehicular accidents | +-----------------------+-----------+-------------------------------+ Table 1: urn:service:sos.police sub registry initial contents 1.2.

The URN should not | | | | be used if text messages can | | | | be sent to the general | | | | service:sos URN or if real- | | | | time text or TTY calls can | | | | reach the general | | | | service:sos URN | | +----------------------+------------------------------+-------------+ Table 5 Rosen & Schulzrinne Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Police/Fire/Ambulance Subregistries October 2017 1.6. Government services top level entry IANA is requested to add a new entry to the URN Service Labels Registry: +------------+----------------------------------------+-------------+ | Service | Reference | Description | +------------+----------------------------------------+-------------+ | government | non-emergency services offered by | this | | | various branches of government | document | +------------+----------------------------------------+-------------+ Table 6 1.7. Government services sub registry IANA is requested to create a new 'government Sub-Services' sub registry in the URN Service Labels registry. The 'government' service is used for general informational services that provide residents access and information about government services relevant to their current location. For example, in the United States and Canada, 311 is used for this purpose. Additional sub-services can be added after expert review and must be of general public interest. The expert is designated by the ECRIT working group, its successor, or, in their absence, the IESG. The expert review should only approve government services that are offered widely and in different countries, with approximately the same caller expectation in terms of services rendered. A new entry must specify the service name, description and a reference similar to other Sub Registries in the URN Service Label registry. The initial values in this sub registry are: Rosen & Schulzrinne Expires May 3, 2018 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Police/Fire/Ambulance Subregistries October 2017 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ | Service | Reference | Description | +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ | government.police | Used for non-emergency | this | | | calls, e.g., to report | document | | | a crime that took place | | | | in the past | | | | | | | government.ambulance> | A non-emergency medical | this | | | transport service | document | | | | | | government.crime-reports> | A non-emergency medical | this | | | transport service | document | +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ Table 7 2. Security Considerations This document has the same security considerations as those in [RFC5031]. 3. Acknowledgements Ivo Sedlacek described the problem and attempted to register a service with a specific police force as distinct from urn:service:sos.police. This work was inspired by his problem. 4.
