The specs are the result of either individual contributions or IETF process. In the former case, who else should be involved? In the latter case, the entire community is already involved in the review of the proposed registry management procedures. This sounds like the result of a problem with a particular registry and its particular oversight. I don't see a good reason to upend all of registry processes to address this corner case. That's what we already have the appeals process for. Joe
