Introduction
This Ecma Standard specifies the registration procedures for the PHY ID, Specifier ID and Regulatory Domain registers used in ECMA-368 and ECMA-369. Entries in these registers are likely to be added over time. Therefore, these contents are implemented as registers rather than as tables in the base standards.
This Ecma Standard has been adopted by the General Assembly of December 2007.

International Registers PHY ID The PHY ID is one octet that uniquely identifies a specific implementation of the PHY, as specified in Annex B of ECMA-369. Requestors shall specify a unique string for registeration with a PHY ID value.
4.2
Specifier ID The Specifier ID is a two octet value that uniquely identifies the owner of any Specifier ID as specified in Annex C of ECMA-368. Requestors shall specify a unique string for registeration with a Specifier ID value.
4.3
Regulatory Domain The Regulatory Domain Number is a value that uniquely identifies a specific regulatory domain, as specified in 16.8.18 of ECMA-368. The Registration Authority shall specify a unique string for each Regulatory Domain Number value as required by regulatory changes.
