This issue came up originally during my tenure at IANA, and FWIW I concur with David. I have a vague memory of engaging directly with some folks from OpenBSD and letting them know that I was sympathetic with their situation, but IANA has strict rules to follow, and unless they followed procedure my hands were tied. Re the "industry-money-driven committee" bit, at the time (and in fact, up until recently) I was a FreeBSD committer myself, so if anything I was *more* inclined to be sympathetic to those from the OS community who submitted applications. I can also assure you that we did assign code points to a non-trivial number of open source applicants _who followed the documented procedures_. Doug On 11/30/2012 10:48 AM, David Conrad wrote:

IANA abides by the rules laid down for it by the IETF/IESG/IAB. The openbsd folks couldn't be bothered to even write up a draft and chose to squat on a protocol number.no matter what;BS. If the openbsd folks followed the rules, they'd have gotten the number(s) they requested (assuming they were justified). There is no grand persecution here. There is management of a limited resource.we didn't have a choice but to ignore that industry-money-driven committee.Which 'industry-money-driven committee' would that be? Regards, -drc
