There was enough tension between the idea of a significantly smaller IESG
and the idea of significant time commitment reduction for all AD positions
that we couldn't make progress in either direction
There's a third apex to that triangle: the tension between trusting WG chairs
to take full responsibility and the IESG having final responsibility for
document quality.
I don't think we can make a major change to the IESG workload without tackling
that issue too. It's hard to say exactly what fraction of the IESG's time is
spent finding and fixing DISCUSS-worthy problems in drafts, but reducing that
fraction to zero would certainly have an impact.
