looks good to me - one suggestion of clearer language and a

on which documents these are
awkward wording - maybe you want to say
o The IESG and the RFC Editor keep a running dialogue on which
documents require special rules (for example, IAB documents, April
1st RFCs, and republication of documents from other SDOs)
Scott, while I agree that the current language is not optimal, I
don't think the above is the right fix. The whole point of the
agreements about publication of IAB documents is that the RFC Editor
reports, from an overall policy and strategy standpoint, with the
IAB. Turning that situation into "the IESG and the RFC Editor keep
a running dialogue" rather dramatically revises (or confuses) that
situation.
John, the paragraph which Scott aims to fix is in the section which
describes "what is currently happening". And, indeed, I believe it is
true that the current state of affairs is that the IESG and the RFC
Editor *do* keep a running dialogue about out-of-the-ordinary
documents which may or may not need IESG review (where republication
of certain SDO documents do -- because of liaison agreements -- and
April 1st RFCs do not, as far as I know).
Perhaps this would be better stated as:
o The IESG and the RFC Editor keep a running dialogue on which
documents require special rules (for example, IAB informational
documents and April 1st RFCs never require IESG review, whereas
certain republication of documents from other SDOs do because of
liaison agreements)
(assuming that captures what Harald, and Scott, intended in their attempts).
