Why did we decide to change the "require IESG approval" text for the requests for the assignment for multiple type values to "require additional review" ? I am not clear about how this review will work in practical. So let say I am an outsider and I wanted some ICMP types, should I send a mail to IANA copying [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and secretriate) or I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (copying secretriate). In case of the former, is IANA going to wait for the IESG to say that it is ok before they assign these values (this almost is requiring approval) ? or the IANA should just wait for 2 weeks (or whatever time) and if they don't hear any objections, they assign the values ? In case of the latter, is IESG going to fwd this request to IANA asking them to assign the values ?
