GNS Record Types
This registry is for GNU Name System Record Types.
GNU Name System Record types uniquely identify the different kinds of key-value pairs that can be in a GNU Name System record set.
This registry is used to ensure that the names and numeric values used to identify record types are uniquely defined and to allow GNS resolvers implementors to find out details about the respective semantics and human-readable syntax.
Policy
Each registry entry should contain three values: the “Number” of the record type, which must be above 65535 (to avoid conflicts with legacy DNS record types), the “Name” of the record type, and a “Reference” with links to further information about the record type.
The “Name” must be unique in the entire registry. The value must be a case insensitive ASCII string and is restricted to alphanumeric characters.
Adding records is possible after expert review, using a first-come-first-served policy for unique “Name” allocation. Experts are responsible to ensure that the chosen “Name” is appropriate for the record type.
Numbers above 0xFFFF0000 non-exclusively indicate record types for private use.
The current contact(s) for expert review are reachable at gns-registry@gnunet.org.
