Scott,

I offer the following friendly amendments.

-andy, as an individual

OLD:

124        Note that the "Specification Required" policy requires review by a
125        "designated expert".  Section 5 of RFC 8126 [RFC8126] describes the
126        role of designated experts and the function they perform.  This
127        policy also requires "a permanent and readily available public
128        specification".  RFC documents meet that requirement.  Proprietary
129        specifications may meet that requirement, depending on how they are
130        archived and accessible.  Internet-Draft documents do not meet that
131        requirement.  RFC 2026 [RFC2026] notes that "Internet-Drafts have no
132        formal status, and are subject to change or removal at any time".

the IETF does allow their use for registrations into "Specification Required"
registries using the process described in [RFC7120].

OLD:

150        Extensions should be evaluated for architectural soundness using the
151        guidelines described in RFC 3735 [RFC3735], including the Security
152        Considerations section of that document.  Expert evaluation should
153        explicitly include consideration of the privacy consequences of
154        proposed extensions, and, at a minimum, ensure that any privacy
155        considerations are fully documented in the relevant specification(s).
156        URIs proposed in extensions (XML namespace and schema registration
157        requests are commonly found in EPP extensions) should be evaluated
158        for both syntactic and semantic correctness.  XML schema and
159        namespace URIs must be registered in the IETF XML Registry using the
160        procedures described in RFC 3688 [RFC3688].  IETF namespaces must be
161        reserved for IETF specifications.  Non-IETF namespaces must be used
162        for non-IETF specifications; the designated experts may need to work
163        with a registrant to identify URIs that can be added to the IETF XML
164        Registry.  Extensions and any normative reference necessary to
165        implement the extension must not be denoted with "work in-progress"
166        or any similar description.

in an Internet Draft temporarily registered in this registry according
to the procedures of [RFC7120].  IETF namespaces must be
reserved for IETF specifications.  Non-IETF namespaces must be used
for non-IETF specifications; the designated experts may need to work

OLD:

210        Document Status: The document status of the specification document.
211        For RFC documents, the possible set of values includes "Standards
212        Track", "Informational", "Experimental", "Historic", and "BCP" as
213        described in Sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2026 [RFC2026].  For documents
214        that are not RFCs, this will always be "Other".

NEW:

Document Status: The document status of the specification document.
For RFC documents, the possible set of values includes "Standards
Track", "Informational", "Experimental", "Historic", and "BCP" as
described in Sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2026 [RFC2026].  For Internet Drafts,
this will be "Temporary". For all other documents this will be "Other".

OLD:

216        Reference: A permanent, publicly available reference to the
217        specification of this extension.  This could be an RFC number or some
218        other pointer to the document defining the extension that meets the
219        "Specification Required" registry policy.

NEW:

Reference: A publicly available reference to the specification of this 
extension.
For RFCs, this will be the RFC number. For Internet Drafts, this will be a
reference to the draft in the datatracker. For all other documents, this will
be a refernce to the extension that meets the "Specification Required" registry 
policy.

OLD:

221        Registrant Name and Email Address: The name and email address of the
222        person that is responsible for managing the registry entry.  If the
223        registration is of an IETF Standards Track extension, this can simply
224        be listed as "IESG, <[email protected]>".

NEW:

Registrant Name and Email Address: The name and email address of the
person that is responsible for managing the registry entry.  If the
registration is of an IETF Standards Track extension or an Internet Draft,
this will be "IESG, <[email protected]>".
