The IANA section says: IANA is requested to prevent future registrations of SASL mechanisms starting with SCRAM- without consulting the SASL mailing list <ietf-sasl@xxxxxxx> first. I'm not sure how the IANA would parse this request. Who on this list has authority to say yes or no to IANA? For clarity, I think we should use one of the terms defined by RFC 2434. Is this IETF Consensus? Or Expert Review? Or Standards Action?
I'm pretty sure it's Expert Review with a mailing list as the expert. But given the agreement we seemed to have during yesterday's meeting that this family should have slow growth accommodating only successor hashes, I think Standards Action would be more appropriate.
