Good pick of a paragraph, Eliot.
I suspect that "may only use" in the 2nd sentence is meant to mean "may choose
to use only". That is, permissive not proscriptive.

Hi,
I have several questions and a concern regarding this document:
This document defines the designated expert mechanism with respect to
documents in the IETF stream only. Documents in other streams may
only use a registration policy that requires a designated expert if
those streams (or those documents) specify how designated experts are
appointed and managed. What is described below, with management by
the IESG, is only appropriate for the IETF stream.
