Good pick of a paragraph, Eliot.

 

I suspect that "may only use" in the 2nd sentence is meant to mean "may choose to use only". That is, permissive not proscriptive.

Hi,

I have several questions and a concern regarding this document:

   This document defines the designated expert mechanism with respect to

   documents in the IETF stream only.  Documents in other streams may

   only use a registration policy that requires a designated expert if

   those streams (or those documents) specify how designated experts are

   appointed and managed.  What is described below, with management by

   the IESG, is only appropriate for the IETF stream.
