Exactly right. It is quite reasonable for the IPsec community to ask 
the IESG to make sure that the IKEv2 IANA reviewer does everything in 
public, and even asks for comments on each action. This is a trivial 
task (mailing lists and web sites, you know), and would  certainly 
make it so that if the reviewer said "no" to something, people who 
cared would know immediately to talk to the IESG.

@@@ I would note the MIME type and charset type procedures, which
require that the request be posted on a public mailing
list for two weeks, and subject to discussion, before an allocation/
registation can be made. These are generally considered to be quite
successful.
