... I do not think this is a show-stopper though; as many details in the proposal, things like these can be modified. In this case, I believe the problem can be easily addressed by giving the ADs the power to initiate the review requests to the review panel -- and encouraging them to do so. This would have several benefits: * if the expectation would be that drafts would be brought before the full IESG only in exceptional cases, the load and duplication ... I don't see any disadvantages, except that if there hasn't been sufficient cross-area review before requesting the review panel to review, they might have to shuttle the documents back and forth more often. This approach might also call for IETF-wide vetting of also WG-produces informational/experimental documents, if they would be reviewed by fewer people, but if this would be needed, it could be easily added later on and isn't worth considering at this point.
See my note posted a short time ago (which was written before seeing yours). But, yes. This is exactly the thing I was commenting about in that note. It is, at some level, a detail. It can be tuned in any of a number of ways. I picked one, not quite at random. You suggest a different one above. I think we need to decide the concept is worthwhile (I'm not sure there is consensus on that yet), and then sort through these details. IMO, the "I don't like that detail so the proposal is invalid and should not be considered" approach is just not a productive way to proceed.
