I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors.
 Document editors and working group chairs should treat these comments just
like any other last call comments.

This document returns control of the PKIX object identifier arc to IANA. That
is, it establishes a new IANA registry for OIDs in the PKIX arc and populates
that registry with the existing OID assignments. Finally, the document
establishes expert review as the criteria for future additions to the registry
and includes guidance that for review.

After reviewing the document, I agree with the author that this document
introduces no new security concerns.

I found no issues in the document and I believe it is ready for publication.

Nits

The author should consider including an expansion of the acronym SMI, which is
used frequently in the document. (I believe in this context SMI = Structure of
Management Information)
