  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document IETF RFC 7970 (2016) in draft X.1541
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: IETF RFC 7970 (2016)
Title: The Incident Object Description Exchange Format Version 2
2. Status of approval:
Approved by IETF as an RFC on November 2016.
3. Justification for the specific reference:
The document is considered stable and provides a complete data model of IODEF version 2. This draft revised Recommendation X.1541 defines a data model for incident information by referencing the data model defined in RFC 7970. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the IETF RFC 7970 here. Thus, this draft revised Recommendation X.1541 references related sections of the RFC in order to specify the data model.
4. Current information, if any, about IPR issues:
The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of IPRs, but any IPR issues are recommended to be filed. See https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/ for the information. No IPR issue is filed pertaining to the RFC 7970.
5. Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
The document is the revision of IODEF version 1, which has been thoroughly reviewed, and which has been adopted by several tools for years. The revision itself has been reviewed for several years before it becomes an RFC, thus the editor of revised X.1541 believes the quality is good enough.
6. The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
The status of all the referred specifications is "approved specification".
7. Relationship with other existing or emerging documents:
References within the referenced specifications are listed under item 8, below.
8. Any explicit references within that referenced document should also be listed:

9. Qualification of ISOC/IETF:
9.1-9.6     Decisions of ITU Council to admit ISOC to participate in the work of the Sector (June 1995 and June 1996).
9.7     The Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) is responsible for ongoing maintenance of the RFCs when the need arises. Comments on RFCs and corresponding changes are accommodated through the existing standardization process.
9.8     Each revision of a given RFC has a different RFC number, so no confusion is possible. All RFCs always remain available on-line. An index of RFCs and their status may be found in the IETF archives at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc.html.
