The document shepherd has the same responsibility as the editor,
which is to confirm that the document reflects consensus of the
community on all points (plus the IESG followup stuff). Authority
(such as it is) to decide what's in and what's out lies with the
community. The worst that could happen is that the author and
shepherd disagree about what has consensus, and at maximum the
shepherd could note the discrepancy in the document's writeup and
let the IESG determine consensus on the disputed point.
The document editor documents the points which has gained
agreement. If there is disagreement or it is not clear what has
gained agreement the document shepherd can provide advice. It's
unlikely that I would disagree with the document shepherd. The
sponsoring Area Director can step in to provide guidance. The IESG
gets to make the determination of consensus.
Who is the shepherd for this one? The tracker shows none assigned.
Ines Robles is the document shepherd.
