I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. The General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) reviews all IETF documents being processed by the IESG for the IETF Chair. Please treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Document: draft-adid-urn-01.txt Reviewer: Brian Carpenter Review Date: 2016-11-24 IETF LC End Date: 2016-12-19 IESG Telechat date: Summary: Almost ready -------- Comment: -------- I looked in vain for a shepherd's writeup or even a shepherd. I have no idea whether this draft has gone through adequate expert review, and I am certainly not an expert. Major Issues: ------------- This is an informative document that states "Ad-ID is the industry standard..." but doesn't provide a clear normative reference to an industry standard at that point. I assume that would be [SMPTERP2092-1]. If so it should be referenced right there. Unfortunately it's behind a pay wall (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7291518/). The IESG needs to confirm whether that's acceptable. > An Ad-ID Identifier consists of a unique eleven character string > or a unique twelve character string (video codes only). What's a "character"? ASCII or UTF-8? The informative reference [Ad-ID-INTRO] doesn't seem to know whether it's a technical appendix or a reference, and the URL that it cites is unhelpful. The material at http://www.ad-id.org/how-it-works/ad-id-structure seems to be what is needed but partly duplicates what is in the draft. Maybe this material is only given here because the actual SMPTE standard costs more than $100? If so, I think it should be clearly labelled as informational material and that only the SMPTE document is definitive. _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list Gen-art@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
