Re: Last Call: <draft-leiba-extended-doc-shepherd-00.txt> (Document Shepherding Throughout a Document's Lifecycle) to Informational RFC

SM:

The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider
the following document:
- 'Document Shepherding Throughout a Document's Lifecycle'
 <draft-leiba-extended-doc-shepherd-00.txt> as Informational RFC

The author is documenting his own opinion, and he is presenting that
opinion to the community for consideration.  The author is not
proposing any formal change, but he is interested in community
comments.  Since this is the authors opinions, changes to the document
based on received comments be at the author's discretion.  As a
result, the finished document will not claim to reflect IETF community
consensus.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2012-10-23. Exceptionally, 
comments may be

This Last Call is highly unusual.  If the changes that are accepted is a 
matter of author discretion, why is there a Last Call and what is the role of 
the IESG here?

Since the document is about one person's opinion on IETF process, I felt it 
useful to bring the document to the attention of the community.  Others may 
agree or disagree.  Hopefully it will spur discussion.  Perhaps it will spur a 
group to propose a change to the process.

After the Last Call, the IESG will make a decision about publication of this 
document as an IETF Stream RFC.
