Hi Italo, There is currently no explicit (*) guideline for this, but this is a point I can add to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-boucadair-netmod-iana-registries/. Many RFCs are referencing the RFC that specified the initial version of the IANA module: rfc9127, rfc9129, rfc9130, rfc9291, rfc9132, etc. However, my take on this would be to recommend referencing the IANA as the authoritative source but allow for also referencing the RFC that defines the initial version of the module. <tp> Yes and no. The RFC version is obsolete as soon as it is published since change control is then with IANA. We know that, users in other SDOs likely do not and since RFC are much easier to access than IANA websites such users will be tempted to reference and use the obsolete version.. The RFC is of course referenced in the IANA website and that is how we should force users to access it so that they understand that the RFC version is obsolete. Tom Petch Cheers, Med (*) other than this part from RFC8407: The reference MUST correspond to the specific module version actually used within the specification.

Hi all, Happy New Year During a WG adoption poll we have received a comment that the URL should be added in the reference statement when importing a YANG module maintained by IANA and we are not sure how to address this comment See: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ccamp/zD6gAfEUlYJ4W3qQlz6Y_gfX5TY/ I have checked RFC8407 but I have not found any guideline on what to reference when importing an IANA module I have checked a couple of examples I knew (RFC8343 and RFC8348) and noted that the IANA modules are imported with no reference I have also noted that within the IANA YANG model registry, the reference for the IANA modules is the RFC where the module has been initially defined: https://www.iana.org/assignments/yang-parameters/yang-parameters.xhtml What would be your suggestion? Are there any guidelines I have missed? Do you know if there are other examples of published RFCs importing an IANA module?
