Hi Adrian,

When a registry is Expert Review, the normal flow is that requests are sent
to IANA who selects an Expert from the pool of Expert. The Expert evaluates
the request and returns an approval/disapproval. IANA then assigned the
code point(s) or not. The general escape mechanism for denial of service
attacks or other abuse is for IANA to go to the IESG. See the last
paragraph of Section 3.3 of RFC 8126:

   IANA always has the discretion to ask the IESG for advice or
   intervention when they feel it is needed, such as in cases where
   policies or procedures are unclear to them, where they encounter
   issues or questions they are unable to resolve, or where registration
   requests or patterns of requests appear to be unusual or abusive.


Generally speaking, the IESG is considered to be a permanent body while,
notwithstanding the apparent immortality of the IDR WG, Working Groups are
considered to be ephemeral. Thus the provision in this draft naming the IDR
Working Group seems problematic to me. The way this is handled for DNS,
where community discussion is desired of requests for RRTYPE assignments,
is to name a specific mailing list that the request must be posted to.
Mailing lists can be immortal. (See Sections 3.1 and Appendix A of RFC
6895.)

So, I think the draft is a good idea but needs some tweaking based on the
above.

Thanks,
Donald
