Subject: Formal Appeal against IESG decision

This is to request that the IESG review and reverse its decision to approve
the document draft-chiba-radius-dynamic-authorization-05.txt for publication
as an Informational RFC. This draft allocates new RADIUS packet type codes
(40-45). RFC 2865 states in section 6.2, however, that
"Because a new Packet Type has considerable impact on interoperability, a
new Packet Type Code requires Standards Action...". I suppose that a case
could be made for "grandfathering in" these type codes if they had been
registered w/IANA under either RFC 2058 or RFC 2138 (both of which lacked an
IANA Considerations section), but the type codes in question have apparently
never been registered with IANA at all (see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types).

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
