To obtain a registered OID at {{no cost}}, apply for an OID under
the {{ORG[expand]IANA}} (ORG:IANA) maintained {{Private Enterprise}}
arc. Any private enterprise (organization) may request an OID to
be assigned under this arc. Just fill out the IANA form
at {{URL: http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/enterprise.pl}} and your
official OID will be sent to you usually within a few days. Your
base OID will be something like {{EX:1.3.6.1.4.1.X}} where {{EX:X}}
is an integer.
