I thought we sent something around about that.   ADs and WG chairs are
encouraged to ask for directorate reviews for certain directorates
(possibly all directorates, I can't remember) prior to working group last
call.   This is in the form of an experiment, not a new policy; we'll see
how it goes.

[MB]  Okay. I remember this one, but I thought that was more around
improving quality than reducing workload.  [ /MB]


We've done a number of other things in the same vein—e.g., document
shepherds are now being invited onto telechats, so that they can do the
work of tracking action items for the authors rather than the AD doing it.

[MB] I'm assuming this is on a case by case basis as I've not been invited
to any telechats.  And, I'm not aware that the shepherds of my own
documents have been on telechats.  For my recent docs, I've been dealing
directly with the issues via email and the not shepherd or ADs.
Certainly, the past, I worked more closely with the AD on issues from the
telechat, but I had thought that was more working style than
intentional.[/MB]


I think there were other items on the list, but I don't remember them off
the top of my head.   The point is, if anybody thinks the IESG is a deer in
the headlights on this issue, that's not the case—we are actively trying to
do things to ameliorate the situation.
