Ah, looks like I responded to the Discuss and not the down-graded comment 😊

Personally, I think your Discuss was just fine. But anyway, the same answer applies to your Comment.

Many thanks,
Adrian

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon further reflection, my concerns below don't meet the DISCUSS criteria.
Reclassifying:

I would like to understand the intent of this document a little better.

RFC 8126 subtly implies that "Expert Review" is a little laxer than
"specification required". But the guidance to experts in this draft seems to
closely match "IETF Review" (sec 4.8 of 8126) except that it allows documents
to get an allocation at an earlier stage in the process. The shepherd comment
that "RFC Required" was an alternative proposal also indicates that the intent
to become more, not less, strict. Indeed, the main change appears to be
eliminating allocations to non-IETF-stream documents.

So why not simply change the registry to "IETF Review" and allow provisional
allocations? It would be much easier to use established mechanisms and standard
definitions than rewriting them in this document. Is the SHOULD in Sec 2.1
carrying a lot of weight here?
