For context, here is what I wrote on Github on 24 Dec:

I think there's an issue that needs to be brought back to the RSAB/RSWG:

draft-ietf-modpod-group-processes is inches from being approved by the IESG. That document is somewhat tightly bound to the IETF and to the IESG. However, given that this document is dependent on RFC 2418 and that document updates RFC 2418, we might want to add a few words to reference the soon-to-be-approved draft.

This is intended as a very loose strawman example:

    The RSWG shall make use of the moderators and procedures specified
    by draft-ietf-modpod-group-processes, with the exception that
    appeals/disputes are to be resolved as described in Section 3.2.4
    of this memo, with the RSAB playing the role of the IESG / area
    directors.

The process here, however, is that if I think there's an issue, it should be discussed with the RSAB. Before I do that, I just want to check with the RPC and authors to see if I have the wrong end of the stick.

Hi Paul,

Greetings. Before Alexis and I start our review, I have a significant procedural question. 
In<https://github.com/rfc-editor/AUTH48-rfc9920/pull/1>, Eliot (I assume wearing his 
shepherd hat) proposes a significant policy change be added to the document during AUTH48 
without asking the RSWG. He does not give specific text, just a "very loose strawman".

Correction: I asked authors for your thoughts before bringing the matter back to the RSAB.  As shepherd, the only thing I can do is do that.  It is then for the RSAB to decide whether the document should be held/returned to the RSWG.
