Since I have found myself in the uncomfortable position of being
temporary spokesperson for those whose views are somewhat more
conservative than mine, let me suggest, as a clarification what
this would look like if done from a more traditional view
(please see many earlier comments to clarify the use of
"conservative" and "traditional"):

        ... When documents are published at the request of the
        IETF community, including for this purpose the IAB and
        IRTF, include clear indications about the status and
        origin of these documents.  Develop appropriate
        indications in conjunction with the requesting bodies...

It's my opinion that we should stay silent on this matter in the
RFP. It really won't be a crucial issue in analyzing the bids,
and we have time to work out the words before negotiating the final
SOW.

I think I would argue for symmetry (i.e. John's words are fine for
the I* streams but I'd like to see something equivalent for the
Independent stream).

Agreed. (noting that the IETF statement wouldn't necessarily state who
did NOT review their documents either).

Explanation:

I agree with all these points. I believe the RFP text is compatible
with them.

Agreed on both observations above.

(1) The steps are actually not the same although many of them
are parallel.

(2) It is reasonable, natural, and appropriate for the IETF
community to put whatever language it thinks appropriate into
documents in its stream(s), subject only to constraints about
truth in advertising. 
(3) It is appropriate for IETF bodies to provide advice to the
RFC Editor about text to be placed in non-IETF documents.  It is
not reasonable, either historically or going forward, for the
IETF to determine or dictate such text.
