Hi, I have added a column, Change Controller.

please see: 
https://github.com/IETF-OPSAWG-WG/draft-ietf-opsawg-pcap/pull/194/files

The Tcpdump Group is not a legal entity (at least, not at this time).
There is no succession plan, no governance, no way to appeal.
Who would The Tcpdump Group designat as controller?
Is there a conflict of interest concern with the DEs? (I don't know)

The DE's serve at the whim of the IESG.  If you want to empower The Tcpdump
Group, then just pick some people who are involved...
  https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/blob/master/CREDITS
many of these people credited also wrote RFCs that defined the protocols
that they then dissected....

You'd like LinkType Value to be first. Okay.

It's a 16-bit registry with less than 1% allocated over ~30 years.
I don't see a landrush coming :-)
