[AVT] IANA considerations in 2833bis

[Tom Taylor <taylor at nortel.com>]

I've just had a look at draft-klensin-iana-reg-policy-00.txt.  On the 
basis of that document, I have probably gone too far in my instructions 
to the reviewer in the IANA Considerations section of 
draft-ietf-avt-rfc2833bis-09.txt.  I quote these instructions here:

<quote>

 Within the audio/telephone-event type, events MUST be registered with
   IANA.  Registrations are subject to the policies "Specification
   Required" and "Expert Review" as defined in RFC 2434 [4].  If the
   specification is created by an outside body, the IETF-appointed
   expert must ensure that:

   a.  the meaning and application of the proposed events is clearly
       documented;

   b.  the events cannot be represented by existing event codes,
       possibly with some minor modification of event definitions;

   c.  the number of events is the minimum necessary to fulfil the
       purpose of their application(s).

</quote>

Bullet (c) in particular seems to go too far.  Does anyone else have a view?
