What is the length of the period for appeals against namespace decisions? 1 Month?

Should there be a quorum on the vote on a disputed namespace allocation? I'd say no.

subsection

One month or six weeks seems reasonable for period for appeals against namespace decisions. Start with a month and see if members are dissatisfied for some reason. We are talking about top level namespaces only. There should not be too many of those.

We should make people aware that two character namespaces as the root, but that is not necessary. In Perth, ARC namespace, Australian Resource Center. The idea was for the geochemical lab to use ARC.

KL: We took the step of beginning namespaces with IE in order to reduce the number of top level namespaces taken.

Core repositories should have relatively few namespaces to begin with - 3 or 4 for example for Bremen.

Might be good to give some guidance of how allocating agents assign (last section of handbook)

AA: groups or AA have a supernamespace, like IE, IE takes care of all clients with subnamespaces (up to IEDA). But there could be cases where people have a supernamespace and only use it once. CC: all namespaces should be associated with someone who is a member of IGSN (and that is the way it is).

We are looking for namespaces for allocating agents - that requires an approval process.
