Hi Sam, It appears that, somehow, I overlooked message [2] below when I was editing the document. Thanks for catching that. I'd be happy to make the two changes agreed to: changing "who" to "whose" in one case (an error a couple of other people have noticed) and changing "IETF Consensus" to "IETF Review". I believe that other changes you suggested were found by the WG Chair not to have WG consensus.

It also contains substantial changes made after the close of WGLC that have received too little attention from the WG. Accordingly, I continue to oppose publication of this document[1]. I suggest that the IESG refer it back to the WG and, once a new document is advanced, issue a new IETF last call. An example of an issue raised in WGLC (in August 2006) that I think should be addressed: The document continues to use IETF Consensus as an allocation metric. That term is deprecated in 2434bis and should be replaced. The editor appears to have agreed to make that change[2], and I've seen no follow-up discussion saying that shouldn't happen. And an example of one of the changes that I think has received too little review: The document allows templates to create IANA registries. Is that altogether desirable? Has the expert been given enough guidance to review such requests? I have not attempted to do an exhaustive review of the 2929bis discussion, but I suspect there are other items in the above categories also. On the positive side, I'm pleased that the document provides for permanently archived templates which can, in and of themselves, serve as adequate documentation of a typecode assignment.
