Unless there is strong support for the more complex registration
process in the draft, we'd like to go to expert review.

The technical argument in favor of a review list, whether a special
list for this purpose or some pre-existing list such as SecDir, is that
it is not always easy to find experts who are familiar with both of the
protocols being bound.  As a result, having more reviewers is a safety
net.  This is especially important for reviews of security protocols.

I do not believe that the registration process defined in this draft is
particularly burdensome.  It is a well defined process with time limits
that will provide a predictable response time for requesters.  It
doesn't limit the Area Director's ability to select an expert to perform
the review.  It simply provides for transparency and public comment on
the registration.

I believe the registration procedure should be implemented as described
in the draft.
