Rob and I had a chat, we have the following proposals (which Rob may
correct in case I got something wrong):

* For Hash Algorithm repository, specify "Expert Review" guiding the Expert
to make sure the proposed hash algorithm has public specification and does
not suffer from known preimage attacks.

* For the Signature Algorithm repository, specify "Expert Review" guiding
the Expert to make sure the proposed signature algorithm has public
specification and can generate signatures deterministically.

* For the STH extensions, SCT extensions and VersionedTransType: Require a
public specification that accompanies the proposed additional values and an
expert review of the public specification, to ensure the public
specification is detailed enough for interoperable implementations.

* For the Log ID 2 repository: First-Come-First-Served, only requirement is
to fill in a template that contains the log metadata.

* For the Log ID 1 repository: Require Expert Review, guiding the Expert to
make sure the requester is requesting the OID in good faith with the
intention of running a CT log (since that's a limited resource). The log
metadata is still required.
