Hi Paul,

Expert review requests don’t generally need early assignment because the expert 
can review a request immediately and codepoints can be assigned.

The working group chairs normally send the requests to [email protected] for early 
allocation.  See point 5 in section 3.1:

   5.  If the Area Directors approve step 4), the WG chairs request IANA
       to make an early allocation.

Looks like some improvements are needed to RFC7120 and as I’m the author, I’ll 
add that to my list of to-do’s.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Michelle Cotton
Protocol Parameters Engagement Sr. Manager – IANA Services

    execsum: I followed RFC 7120 to get an Early Code Point, and there is
    confusion about the process between me, the chairs and the epxert.

    I followed 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__tools.ietf.org_html_rfc7120-23section-2D3&d=DwIBAg&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DtXLhb_G8hD85GLUyK8Z_tHchz8XPohfWYCwPbpStcU&m=VPvwZ58pXTamTD0lOqjz84Jkf5QVaIlhL2YiYAKqoVg&s=Lwg0SR9f74E08PQbAyw6awTf6d5NAzlLz4ylvxQXZ10&e=
    
        The process for requesting and obtaining early allocation of code
        points is as follows:
    
        1.  The authors (editors) of the document submit a request for early
            allocation to the Working Group chairs, specifying which code
            points require early allocation and to which document they should
            be assigned.
    
        2. [wg chairs do stuff]
    
    
    Nowhere does it link to or mention a page at IANA where to do this.
    Nowhere does it state I should not contact the WG chairs.
    
    Now, there is a strangeness in section 2:
    
    The following conditions must hold before a request for early
        allocation of code points will be considered by IANA:
    
        a.  The code points must be from a space designated as "RFC
            Required", "IETF Review", or "Standards Action".  Additionally,
            requests for early assignment of code points from a
            "Specification Required" registry are allowed if the
            specification will be published as an RFC.
    
    I don't understand why "Expert review" is not listed here. Is it by
    design or an error in RFC 7120 ?
    
    Additionally, the document does not point to any other instructions
    for the process in the case of Expert Review. Who to contact where?
