Hi Ben,

Yeah, that's right.

According to 8126

   The required documentation and review criteria, giving clear guidance
   to the designated expert, should be provided when defining the
   registry.

That's what this document does. In other words, it takes Expert Review as the base, and then sets out the required documentation and review criteria.

There is a requirement for a document. But what is a document?
This could be clearer 2.1. How about...

OLD
   1.  Application for a code point allocation may be made to the
       Designated Experts at any time.
NEW
   1.  Application for a code point allocation may be made to the
       Designated Experts at any time, and MUST be accompanied
       by technical documentation explaining the use of the code
       point.  Such documentation SHOULD be presented in the
       form of an Internet-Draft, but MAY arrive in any form that
       can be reviewed and exchanged amongst reviewers.

Oh yes. I seem to have put them in alphabetic order.

Cheers,
