 Registration Entry Requirements {#registration-entry-requirements}
 ==================================================================
 
-1. Each entry must include a unique <a>codec string</a>, a common name string, and a
-    link to the codec's specification.
-2. The <a>codec string</a> must be crafted as follows:
+To register an entry, file an issue in the
+[WebCodecs GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/issues/)
+so it can be discussed and evaluated for compliance before being added to
+the registry. 
+
+The Media Working Group might seek expertise from outside the
+Working Group as part of its evaluation, e.g., from the codec specification
+editors or relevant standards group. If the codec specification is not
+publicly available, it must be made available to the Working Group for
+evaluation. For the entry to be included, there needs
+to be interest from at least one implementer in the Working Group. If the Working Group 
+reaches consensus to accept the candidate entry, send a pull request (either by editors
+or by the party requesting the candidate registration) that meets the following requirements:
+
+1. A unique <a>codec string</a>, a common name string, and a
+    link to the codec's public <dfn>registration specification</dfn>.
+2. The <a>codec string</a> requirements are as follows:
     1. If the <a>codec string</a> contains a fixed prefix with variable suffix values,
         the suffix must be represented by an asterisk and the registration's
         public specification must describe how to fully qualify the variable

-6. Existing entries cannot be deleted or deprecated. They may be changed after
-    being published through the same process as candidate entries. Possible
-    changes include expansion of the <a>codec string</a> to better qualify the codec,
-    adjustments to the codec name string, and modification of the link to the
