Balloting  Yes, since there's no conflict with IETF work.

While reviewing, I did notice some areas where the document could perhaps
use more polish:

It discusses handling the "user's location" or updates thereto, as well as carrying
an explicit "public-address" attribute, but does not discuss the usability of IP addresses
as PII and the corresponding privacy considerations.

UTF-8 is used for human-readable strings but I didn't see mention of normalization or
other internationalization considerations.

There's a 505 "Version not supported" error code but not much of a clear mechanism
for actually performing version negotiation.

The default max content length of 1000 bytes doesn't match up with any natural transport limits
I'm aware of, and in fact is larger than an IPv4 network is guaranteed to be able to carry.

Similarly, when we read that "all BWIDTH requests sent MUST be 1 kilobyte in length (UDP payload
length by default" it's unclear how that would work on a network with MTU  smaller than 1kb,
and what the "UDP  payload length by default" refers to.

Section 9.6.1 talks about cases when "TCP packets are lost" but TCP is a stream protocol,
not a packet-based one, and more relevantly, provides reliable transport, so loss of carried
TCP data is detectable only as connection hang/timeout.

No objection, however, I'd be curious how this document got to the ISE. Was this ever presented at dispatch (as the name indicates) or somewhere? Does anybody now?
