The Role of the IESG in the Standards Process
The IESH carries out various roles in the Standards process. Some of these roles include reviewing and approving group documents and candidates for the IETF standards track. It also reviews the candidates for publication in the RFC series.
Standards Track Documents vs. Non-Standards Track Documents
The IESG reviews all the documents before they are submitted for publication. However, the IESG follows a different review process to review the standards track RFCs which is mentioned below:
Working Group Documents on the Standards Track: Once a working group submits a document and mentions that it is ready for publication it is sent to the IESG and IESG submits it to IETF’s mailing list for the final call. This call is the final one that is intended to see that whether no important point has been misunderstood or missed.
The IESG takes a look at what feedback it gets in the Last call. Once it is done, the IESG will deliberate on whether to accept the document on the standards track. If it is approved then IESG announces the approval of the document to the IETF mailing list and RFC Editor.
Non-Working Group Documents on the Standards Track: The IESG also reviews the Non-Working Group Documents on the standard track and also assigns them to a relevant Area Director who then shepherds the documents. The IESG checks for the specifications for the standards track and observes whether it needs to be reviewed by the IETF working groups. It also checks the quality. <ref>[http://www.ietf.org/iesg/standards-role.html ietf.org]IESG role</ref>
