Hi All,

(To keep everyone in the loop since you weren’t all on the cc of the IANA 
review email.)

Amanda Baber at IANA pointed out that the added paragraph is a problem for IANA 
since it’s too imprecise for IANA to carry out. The options come down to:

1. Revisit the WG decision, and add a field to the registry for the “Y/N” 
annotations that relate to this spec.  
2. Change the policy to something like "IETF Review (Additional Expert Review 
Required) or IESG Approval" and include advice to the experts in the document. 
(Thanks to Amanda for this suggestion.) 
3. Move the “it requires” text out of the IANA considerations and into a more 
appropriate section, and don’t try to put a gatekeeper into the registry (yet).

I think either option 1 or option 2 would be fine insofar as resolving Lars (et 
al)’s concern. Option 3 would amount to returning to the previous plan of 
record, which was to ship the spec without a registry gatekeeper but ask the WG 
to produce a registry reorg that does so in a more comprehensive way.

Of these plans, I’m least enthusiastic about option 2 since it would require us 
to appoint and instruct an expert reviewer, for what I hope will be a 
short-lived function. That implies — to me — that option 1 is the least bad way 
of breaking the deadlock.

Until we resolve this the draft will be stuck in “IANA NOT OK”.
