I would have gone for _IESG Approval_, but a well written Expert Review would
be okay.  I'm just sad that we didn't think to put this into RFC9637.
I feel like that was a failure of DNSDIR review.... which this document did
not get.   I feel the IESG ought to be able to fix this without a new RFC.
Maybe there should be a shephard question about DNS stuff.

True.

It depends upon the experts ;-)

My biggest fear as a DE for some very minor registries isn't that I'll make a
mistake, but that I'll lose the email and cause multi-month delays.
