# Guidance for Designated Experts

When processing a request for a Specification Required allocation the
Designated Experts are expected to be able to find the relevant
specification at a clearly stable URL. It is noted that many enterprise
web sites do not maintain URLs over a long period of time, and a
documented in a "wp-uploaded" section is highly likely to disappear. In
addition Specifications that require a reader to click through any kind
of marketing or legal agreement are not considered public. (This is the
opinion of other corporate lawyers, who worry about what their employees
might have agreed to)

The specification needs to be clearly written, and when the contents of
the link type can contain and IPv4 or IPv6 header, then the octets
between the beginning of the link type and the IP header needs to be
very clearly specified in that document.

Specifications which are not publically available, but which may be
obtained via liason agreements (such as to ITU-T, 3GPP, IEEE, etc.) are
acceptable particularly if the document will be public eventually, but
are discouraged. For other documents, the Designated Expert will need
use their judgement, or consult the WG or an Area Director.

Linktypes may be allocated for specifications not publically available
may be made within the First-Come/First-Served area. This includes
specifications that might be classified. The minimal requirement is for
a contact person for that link type.
