Hi Michael,

Thanks for posting an update. You beat me to the update. I was hoping for the 
discussion to settle down and see an updated version that captured all the 
discussion. Well …

Besides these editorial changes, I am hoping for a resolution on the following 
points.

1. Consistency 

- The description of the LinkType Registry talks about 4 items per entry. They 
are:
  - LinkType Name
  - LinkType Value
  - Description
  - Reference

The initial version of the table in Section 2.2.1 shows:

- Name
- Number
- Description
- Reference

Can these be made consistent?

2. I would have deferred the definition of Change Controller to Section 2.3 of 
RFC8126. As is, the definition is incomplete.

3. In reading Section 2.3 of RFC8126, there seems to be some flexibility on who 
is the Change Controller for entries that are being grandfathered vs new 
entries. I see that the document now calls out [email protected] for entries 
that are grandfathered. Thanks for adding that.

4. Guy had suggestion for registration that do not have a reference. In 
particular, if there is no document, can the email address for the person who 
requested the LinkType be added? I believe that is captured in Section 2.2.2 of 
the document which is somewhat misplaced as the Section Title is “Guidance for 
Designated Experts”, says "The minimal requirement is to provide a contact 
person for that link type.” I think what was intended was “contact information 
for a person”, not just “contact person”, or better still “email address of the 
person”.

Thanks.
