What should it be changed to?
That is what I recommended it be changed to.

Co-opting the IESG under the "overview" of the SPF Council
smells like net suicide ;-)  For a real world example see 3865:

   o  Author/Change controller: IETF

Since you want to submit this for standard track and not
experimental, having personal name/address there may not be
appropriate.

RfC 3864 says:

| Author/Change controller:
|     For Internet standards-track, state "IETF".  For other
|     open standards, give the name of the publishing body
|     (e.g., ANSI, ISO, ITU, W3C, etc.).

We're not yet at plan-B with full IETF liaison agreements etc.,
Jabber avoided this bureaucracy too so far.  "IETF" should do.

Good catch - I've arranged write access on the corresponding
mailing list <ietf-message-headers.lists.ietf.org>, as soon as
Wayne fixed "Author/Change controller: IETF", other nits like
s/prefix/qualifier/g and the IESG publishes the "last call" we
can forward the registration template to this list.

It's not exactly crowded, see also...
