Hi Lars,

That's perfectly reasonable. 

I wish there was a way for the IESG to table something for discussion without using the "Discuss a document" hook which makes the authors (and the watchers) feel that *they* should be part of the discussion. But, anyway, it seems that there is something here that the IESG needs to discuss, so "whatever works."

It achieves a similar end with some slight variations. I can't speak for the WG as to why they preferred this approach, but:
- 7120 requires a stable WG I-D. Thus:
   - an early WG I-D doesn't qualify
   - a non-WG I-D doesn't qualify
   - a non-IETF document doesn't qualify
- 7120 allocations have to be renewed
   - this is extra effort 
   - only one renewal is allowed unless the IESG is invoked "under rare circumstances"
   - the code point "expires" if someone forgets to renew

Cheers,
Adrian
