I think this is what you would have needed to do if it were sandards
action.

In this case the allocation policy is expert review. I think you can
send the early allocation request now, i.e. jump to step 3.

I believe that you will get the early allocation if you do so. If the
experts tell you to wait you will need - as Amanda said - to say in the
draft that the code points are not allocated (only requested.

But I see no reason why the experts would tell you to wait.

Chris and you can do this on your own initiative (especially based on
the strong support for the draft already present on the mailing list).
Just send the mail to IANA and copy the rtg-ad's and ask for the
allocations. Point to the existing draft.

Now to the other question. No - I don't know of any other draft that
will clash. However that was also the case when we actually had a clash,
the result was one unhappy vendor. I'm pretty sure that you want to
avoid this, especially since it so easy to avoid.
