I'm sorry, but this is not entirely right.
Your recommended settings are correct for srgb as rgb working space - srgb however has a relatively low gamut compared to adobergb and ecirgbv2. Also, srgb should only be used by web designers, as it is also the native mode of every computer display. Photographers should use adobergb (native dslr color space) or ecirgbv2 (f.e. prepress retouching).
here are the official calibration targets for each color space:
srgb
Gamma 2.2
Color temp 6500k
Whitepoint 140cd
AdobeRGB
Gamma 2.2
Color temp 6500k
Whitepoint 120cd
eciRGBv2:
Gamma L*
Color Temp 5000k
Whitepoint 120cd
None of these settings are good for practical use tho (in prepress at least).
For best color accuracy, I recommend a color temp around 5700-5800k, 140cd and L* or 2.2 gamma, depending on your rgb working space (adobe or ecirgbv2).
photographers should use ecirgbv2 or adobergb, depending on what kind of work he or she does. ecirgbv2 is best suited for prepress use, as it offers the best color conversions to ISOCoatedv2.
General note:
whitepoint should always be adjusted to look like a white sheet of paper of your favorite photo paper.
color temp should always match the grade of white of your fav photo paper (bleached paper f.e. has a higher white point as yellow natural paper)
