Christian, could you take a look at the minor issues & nits and submit
a draft to resolve theses - if some of them don't need to be changed,
just sort that on this email thread.
Peter, on the topic of the Major issue...
The existing procedures require the review to happen at IETF. Almost
all the work on this is actually happening at ITU right now so we are
trying to make it easier for the ITU folks get the approvals they need
done. We will select an expert reviewer that is closely involved with
the ITU folks working on this as they are much more aware of all the
ongoing work is and can catch conflicts, duplicated efforts etc.
This should make it easier to get things approved than the current
process while at the same time helping improve the actual quality of
the review.
Hope that helps.

Document: draft-groves-megaco-pkgereg-02
Reviewer: Peter J. McCann
Review Date: 23 February 2009
IETF LC End Date: 23 February 2009
IESG Telechat date: unknown
Summary: Ready with nits, if the IESG wants to change the IANA
considerations for H.248.
Major issues:
This document inserts an expert review procedure in the allocation
policy for new H.248 packages/error codes/service change/profiles.
This is probably a good thing but I have not been following the
history of the H.248 effort so I'm not aware of any problems that
have occurred under the existing allocation policies. The IESG
should weigh carefully whether the allocation policy really needs
changing.
Minor issues:
In a couple of places the document gives special treatment to
"recognized standards bodies." How does a standards body become
"recognized" by the IETF? Should we specify that a liaison
relationship
must be in place?
Section 4.2 states that a specification is required for review by
the designated expert, but it seems to allow that this specification
isn't publicly available. Should there be a requirement at least for
public packages that the specification be public?
