Comments are handled per 5.3.  Upon Expert Review comments can be
attached to the registration.  But this doesn't change ownership
of the registration or the registration itself.

Changes to a registration are handled per 5.2.  The IESG can
assert ownership at any point when it believes changes are
necessary and the registered owner is not willing or able to
make them.
