Expert Review Instructions
--------------------------

The IANA registries established by this document are informed by written
specifications, which themselves are facilitated and approved by
an Expert Review `RFC 8126 section 5.3<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8126.html#section-5.3>`_
process.

Designated Experts are expected to consult with the active
BPF working group (e.g., via email to the working group’s mailing list)
if it exists, as well as other interested parties (e.g., via email to
one or more active mailing list(s) for relevant BPF communities and
platforms). The Designed Expert is expected to verify that the encoding
and semantics for any new instructions are properly documented in a
public-facing specification. In the event of future RFC documents for ISA
extensions, experts may permit early assignment before the RFC document
is available, as long as a specification exists which satisfies the above
requirements.
