      3 Dear IS Editor,
      4 
      5 This is a message for the submission of draft-dold-payto to the
      6 independent stream.  We intend this to be an experimental RFC.
      7 We believe Bernie discusses this already with you at IETF 104.
      8 
      9 Previous drafts have seen review by the IETF communities, and we
     10 addressed the various comments we have received. As no WG was
     11 happy to pick up the topic, IESG/ADs suggested to us that we submit
     12 this to the independent stream, in particular to generate an FCFS
     13 registry at IANA and to hopefully inspire more parties to implement
     14 the scheme and gain more implementation experience as a community.
     15 
     16 
     17 First, there were discussions on [uri-review], starting April 30th 2017:
     18 https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/uri-review/YFzsOq9kbU4Lt7IV9QWwnuVzDaw
     19 
     20 A second round of reviews happened in April 2018:
     21 https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/uri-review/D_IeQiXnWzT53dCPCh13zXR6LC4
     22 
     23 Next, RFC editor privided an independent technical review as
     24 well (private e-mail, IANA #1133677, via Amanda Baber).
     25 
     26 Finally, there was a recent discussion on [Dispatch]:
     27 https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dispatch/nERmRZ8AtDQLSo1KMW-4W6zmvFo
     28 
     29 We believe to have adequately addressed the comments received
     30 at this time (as well as other comments received in private).
     31 
     32 
     33 We assert that the IANA allocation of payto:// does not require
     34 IETF consensus or standards action. In fact, we believe the
     35 allocation is already in effect.
     36 
     37 
     38 The purpose of publishing the document is to create a uniform standard
     39 for the specification of pro-forma invoices that allows the invocing
     40 party to specify account details, amounts and other wire-transfer meta
     41 data.  We believe this standard is urgently needed, and have had
     42 discussions with various parties in the financial industry that support
     43 this assertion. We also implemented this in our own payment system.
     44 
     45 Christian Grothoff is willing to serve as the first expert reviewer for the
     46 IANA registry.
     47 
     48 The intended audience are thus developers for applications that deal
     49 with payments and are seeking a simple standard for specifying wire
     50 transfer information.
     51 
     52 Best regards,
     53 
     54 Florian & Christian
