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.

I still would prefer to have SPF Council mentioned as reviewer even
if IETF is final authority. So perhaps this:

 Author/Change controller: IETF

   Requesting SPF Council review of any proposed changes and additions
   to this field is recommended. For information about SPF Council see
