The security directorate (SecDir) provides support to the IETF Security Area Directors. The group consists of the Working Group Chairs and others chosen for their technical knowledge in security. It reviews all IETF documents passing through the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) to improve efficiency. The reviews are solicited to allow the area directors to focus on troublesome documents. The group also improves the documents and broadens the reviewers' exposure to other parts of the IETF. The reviews do not cause the IESG to block a document; however, they may convince IESG members to block a document.<ref>[https://trac.ietf.org/trac/sec/wiki/SecDirReview SecDir Reviews, IETF Sec Wiki]</ref> | |||
