Per RFC 2132 (DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions):
Defining new extensions
The author of a new DHCP option will follow these steps to obtain
acceptance of the option as a part of the DHCP Internet Standard:
1. The author devises the new option.
2. The author requests a number for the new option from IANA by
contacting:
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
USC/Information Sciences Institute
4676 Admiralty Way
Marina del Rey, California 90292-6695
or by email as: iana@iana.org
3. The author documents the new option, using the newly obtained
option number, as an Internet Draft.
4. The author submits the Internet Draft for review through the
IETF standards process as defined in "Internet Official Protocol
Standards" (STD 1). The new option will be submitted for
eventual acceptance as an Internet Standard.
5. The new option progresses through the IETF standards process;
the new option will be reviewed by the Dynamic Host
Configuration Working Group (if that group still exists), or as
an Internet Draft not submitted by an IETF working group.
6. If the new option fails to gain acceptance as an Internet
Standard, the assigned option number will be returned to IANA
for reassignment.
This procedure for defining new extensions will ensure that:
* allocation of new option numbers is coordinated from a single
authority,
* new options are reviewed for technical correctness and
appropriateness, and
* documentation for new options is complete and published.
