Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this
information is supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’
and ‘Standards New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give
details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn
Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee
IT/1 on Information Systems— Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC 9834-1:1993, Information technology —Open Systems Interconnection— Procedures for the
operation of OSI Registration Authorities: General Procedures.
This Standard is issued as a Joint Standard under the terms of the Active Cooperation Agreement
between Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.
The objective of this Standard is to provide users of the OSI model with specific procedures which are
generally applicable to registration of objects within the Open Systems Interconnection environment.
This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are currently
under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor difficulties

encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be providing, through
the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information concerning difficulties which
are identified in using this Standard.
Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under
arrangements made with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the number
of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover and title pages.
For the purpose of this Standard, the source text should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’ should replace the words ‘this
International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) Decimal marker Substitute a full point for a comma where it appears as a decimal marker.
(c) References The references to international Standards should be replaced by references, where
appropriate, to the following Australian or Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards:

AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND STANDARD

Information technology—Open Systems Interconnection

Procedures for the operation of OSI registration authorities

Part 1:
General procedures

1 Scope
This Recommendation International Standard:

a) specifies procedures which are generally applicable to registration of objects within the OSIE;
This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

b) specifies the hierarchical structure of the naming-domain within which this registration occurs;

c) provides guidelines for the establishment and operation of International OSI Registration
Authorities;

d) provides guidelines for additional Recommendations International Standards which choose to

reference the procedures in this Recommendation International Standard.
NOTE — This Recommendati on International Standard does not exclude or disall ow the use of any syntacti c forms of names
or any naming domains for registr ation purposes provided that the domains ensure nonambiguity wit hin their scope. This Recommendation
International Standard is intended to cover those cases where the registrati on-hierarchical- name is appropri ate.

Information about registration for specific objects in the OSIE is contained in separate Recommendations
International Standards.

This Recommendation International Standard applies to registration within the OSIE by Recommendations
International Standards, by International Registration Authorities, and by any organization which requires to act
as a registration authority.
