+1 also.

If the issue is IESG time please consider a much lighter weight review process for such information texts.

IESG -

This statement is unclear, at least to me, on whether it is intended to be used to tell groups NOT to send such documents to the IESG unless their charter explicitly said they had permission to do so.

Please consider amending the statement as follows (and if you, as a body, disagree with this, we need to have more community discussion):

"It is not the intent of the IESG to prevent publication of such documents, even if they are not explicit charter deliverables, if the working group has consensus to do so."

That sentence might fit well at the end of the 4th paragraph.

The IESG has issued a Statement on Support Documents in IETF Working Groups.

24 August 2023

Support documents, such as problem statements, framework and architecture documents, use case descriptions, or requirements documents, can help working groups find agreement on their scope and guide them toward suitable solutions.
