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.
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.
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.
The revision of the qualifications provided to the nomcom was signficant.
experiments with narrative shepherds reports.
experiments with post-ietf working-group summaries performed by chairs.
See http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg79194.html
Specifically the entry"Send more documents back to the WG to complete
the necessary changes." should help in terms of AD load.
