Thanks for the suggestions! I posted a new version of the document based on this and other suggestions from IETF 122:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-karstens-intarea-multicast-application-port/ Rather than provide specific guidance to the review team, the new version just points out that the ports team is not prevented from making port assignments – they have discretion to approve on a case-by-case basis. Hopefully the new question on the request form will be enough to encourage use of the Multicast Application Port. If there are compelling reasons not to use it, then the submitter can make their case and the review team can use their judgement to determine what is best for the community.

My comment at the microphone in INTAREA today, was about the change in the policy implied for new assignment requests that are received by IANA. IANA is requested to update its "Application for Service Names and User Port Numbers" [IANA-APP] to reference this document, ask if the Multicast Application Port may be used, and require an explanation if not. i.e.: This is sort of written above in the second half of the sentence, but I suspect the I-D ought to provide clear guidance on how a request for a future allocation is to be processed by IANA and what the Ports Team ought with the request for a port. Likely IANA could help with a suggested wording, e.g., do we need to change question 1 in the https://www.iana.org/form/ports-services<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.iana.org/form/ports-services__;!!EJc4YC3iFmQ!V2Ab901u7bqmX3vdiUGOgDa8EP2PF5q9OMeCGSKCj0-d4-zeqM1byzE8vzkZO1ibt0VXN0P1wJa1N0hBKzU$> in some way?
