Hey Les,

Not at all! As you may have seen, Alvaro and I had reached the point of =
needing additional eyes.

> It seems you have largely retained the text from =
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7752#section-5.1

to

Hah! Well, I had a hand in both 7370 and 7752 =F0=9F=98=8A

Is that schizophrenia? Not completely. In 7752 and now in this document, =
I am not representing my opinion on what the IANA section should say or =
how DE guidance should be expressed; I am trying to represent the IDR =
view of how they want their registries run.

I believe you have correctly captured the intent of the text.=20

My understanding of what the WG wanted was to allow a request for a =
codepoint to be made from "outside" the IETF by simply making a request. =
Since "the DE is expected to check the clarity of purpose and use of the =
requested code points" I would expect some brief documentation (probably =
an email).

But if "the request comes from within the IETF, it should be documented =
in an Internet-Draft."

> 2)I do not know why the DE needs to:
>
> "post the request to  the IDR Working Gorup mailing list (or a =
successor mailing list
>  designated by the IESG)"

It is a mixture of:
- politeness
- allowing people working on the protocol to know what is going on
- an opportunity for useful input to the DEs

The bit about the successor mailing list is in case IDR is closed at =
some point.

Ack

Yes, up to a point =F0=9F=98=8A
Even if #1 ends up requiring documentation, that documentation is not =
necessarily:
- an I-D
- an I-D that anyone has shared with IDR

> Something I DO like is the statement:
>

Glad to have *something* right.

Thanks,
