Robert,
the IESG should not be making any kind of technical review of independent submissions
Right, and we are not.
- the reason the review was even permitted ... was to allow work that was submitted independently but which was directly in the same area as IETF work to be merged, and all considered together.
That is indeed the primary goal of the 3932 and 3932bis. I.e., promote independent work, but allow a check in the exceptional case that it collides with IETF work.
