but that seems to drop a ball - the RFC Editor asks the IESG a question imo the IESG should answer - maybe just say 'we are talking with the author about doing this work in the IETF' but at least say something to close the loop
Yes - the IESG should answer.
But I believe the question being asked is "is there a reason, based on conflict with existing IETF work, that this document should not be published?"
And the IESG should answer yes or no to that question.
Anything else should (IMHO) be advice to the RFC Editor and the author, and not be part of the formal position-taking the IESG makes.
Because in the past, we've seriously bogged down independent publications because we were debating (with or without the author) whether or not they should be IETF work.
And we need to stop doing that.
