  *   I agree that the "Recommended" column in the IANA registry (which is frequently misunderstood)

  *   should just be renamed to "IETF Consensus".  Obvious and self-explanatory.

The way to do that is to get an RFC out that makes that change.  It could be stand-alone, or part of another (like the 8446bis draft, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-rfc8446bis/)  The first step might be to ask for five minutes at the next meeting and bring it up.
