National extensions may be delegated directly to the appropriate national federation operator in response to an email from that operator to the REFEDS Schema Editorial Board. The Schema Baord will use that information to update the registry as necessary; no formal votes are required. Any other delegation requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Schema Board.** \

** The Schema Board should consider the guidance provided in RFC 3613 regarding identifier assignments when considering those additional requests.
