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.
