The IESG thinking on this is in line with Brian's thinking.  In the past, the Tao has been published as an informational RFC.  The approval process included community comment and IESG evaluation.  A parallel approval process ought to be used here.

Let's use of a well-known URL for the current approved Tao and a well-known URL for the draft of the Tao that is under consideration.  This will facilitate review of updates.

Indeed.  Any decision by the IESG is subject to the existing appeals process.
