OSM is maintaining a namespace registry as a sub tree of the ETSI root `urn:etsi` namespace. A description of the top level ETSI URN namespace can be found on the [ETSI PNNS page](https://portal.etsi.org/PNNS/GenericAllocation/ETSIURNNamespace.aspx)
The OSM URN namespace has the following structure:
```
```text
urn:etsi:osm:<OSM sub-tree>
```
The following sections describe the basic structure of the sub-tree and how a entry in the registry can be requested.

- Step #2:
The TSC will review the proposal.
-**Step #1:** Send an e-mail to the <OSM_TSC@list.etsi.org> mailing list indicating the name of the sub-tree, the contact person and the purpose of that subtree.
