While I'm sure it's different for different people, when I'm late it's almost certainly because I am in fact overloaded. This is a balance: one must give deference to the reviewers or one won't have reviewers. And of course it should be a consideration for both working groups and the IESG as they create and manage registries. I know of registries out there where we would be very hard pressed to find a replacement. To me, THAT is a strategic issue that the IAB and IESG should consider taking on. Back in the IANAPLAN working group, one person suggested to me that the protocol parameters registry should be a wiki that could be edited. I don't know if I would go that far, especially when it comes to certain registries like IP version numbers, but let's acknowledge that expert review requires resources that the IETF does itself not control. This having been said, I don't know that this is a serious problem with the 5785 registry, nor do I believe we should make changes based on a single request/response. My experience is that there is no perfect policy; and actually I appreciate that Mark and company are willing to donate their time to the cause. Eliot
