RFC 3710, Section 1.1 sets out role of the IESG as follows:
Fair warning about RFC 3710. See section 1.2:
This document is published as an Informational RFC, detailing the
current operations of the IESG. It does not claim to represent
consensus of the IETF that this is the right set of instructions to
the IESG.
The role of the IESG, except for it's role in the standards process (see
RFC 2026) is highly under-specified, for better or worse. RFC 2028,
section 3.5 also makes for amusing reading, and if you really want to go
spelunking, a look at RFC 1602, section 1.2, and RFC 1310, section 1.2,
are also fun.
Welcome to the amusing part of this crusty old organization. ;-)
