[address-policy-wg] Unique prefixes for all proposals

Hi all,

I am aware that this list is not ideal for my concern; I simply
defaulted to the least inappropriate list.

One of my pet peeves is that the RIRs use clashing naming schemes for
their proposals. If someone talks about proposal 2010-1 and does not
provide context, there is an unnecessary burden on people figuring out
if this the RIPE's or the ARIN's proposal they are talking about.

The solution is simpe: A unique prefix.

Possible suggestions for prefixes include:

* ripe-
  The obvious choice. Short, precise, lower case. A potential problem
is that once ripe documents reach a certain count, there might be
confusion over the proposal ripe-2020-1 vs the document ripe-2010,
i.e. that there is nothing specifying that we are talking about a
proposal.

* ripe-proposal-
  Unique, but long.

* ripe-draft-
  Unique, not 100% correct with RIPE's naming scheme, but shorter.

* ripe-prop-
  Unique, similar to how APNIC and AfriNIC handle things.

* RIPE-
  Unique, short, somewhat ugly, does not specify that this is a
proposal. Analogous to how LACNIC handles it.


I am not sure if this warrants its own proposal which is why I am
simply throwing the issue out in the open to see what the community at
large thinks about this issue.

Personally, I would tend towards "ripe-prop-". It's reasonably short
but leaves room for expansion (ripe-doc-, etc) and unification.


Any and all feedback welcome :)
