In general, ICMP messages do not have options. Messages that are part of
Neighbor Discovery (RFC 2461/62) ICMP messages do have options, however.

In this case, there is no need for IETF concensus to assign suboption types
to a new ICMP message. They can just be assigned in the draft.

If you want to have the option types come out of the ND space, then the IANA
considerations should say that.

Also, IETF concensus is not needed to assign a new port number. IANA can do
that.
