b) There is no interest to research where delay really happen. Your
statistics just tell that there is delay but not why (of course). From
my own experience I noticed that there are many reasons for delay and
I am not sure I can blame it to the IESG reviews for most of the
delay. It is only during the IESG review phase when the problems
surface that could have been tackled much earlier.
Without looking at a number of cases we might focus on the wrong
issues. Maybe, but I am not sure, there is something that can be
generalized from some individual cases.
I am happy to work with someone else to go through a couple of
different IETF activities that did not really go as planned to
"reconstruct" what went wrong. I suggested this in the past but it is
of course not fashionable and exciting.
The big delays on documents in my queue (e.g. one's that I inherited)
are almost exclusively of author or wg holds the token again or blocked
on some other document variety. the tail is pretty long, whether it's
heavy or not for a visibile minority of drafts.
