The IANA section says:

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.
