The original request was for a permanent allocation from IANA. During
the first IETF Last Call, there was significant push back on that. The
result was to request a temporary allocation that expires in a set time
period. After that, it would be up to the IESG to determine if the
allocation should be made permanent or retired.

I viewed that compromise as saying that the IESG in 2018 would determine
the criteria for making the allocation permanent or not.  This may be
worth discussing in detail on Thursday.
