The IANA section says:

  IANA is requested to prevent future registrations of SASL mechanisms

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.

I see.  I didn't know an open mailing list could be a Designated Expert.

I haven't heard of such cases either: somebody has to be a gatekeeper.


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.

Works fine with me.

Works for me as well.
