I would like to start a mechanism to register VOEvent servers. Every 
service that can resolve VOEvent identifiers should be part of the 
registry infrastructure. Services would have specialized metadata with 
information about which protocols are used, how it uses iamalive 
packets, if it publishes original or aggregated or filtered streams, 
where the content comes from, who is in charge, etc etc.

(a) How do I get such registry extensions properly built and approved?  
There are quite a few registry extensions now, do we all work 
independently or is there an IVOA process?

(b) Is this part of the Applications metadata thread or am I in the 
wrong place? If the latter, is this purely a matter for the VOEvent WG, 
or would Registry WG get involved?
