IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat

Summary:

As a body of text recording history it is fine. However there are a couple of
IESG policy issue that may be a cause for concern.

Major issues: As a body of text this is fine. However, I remember long
discussions about whether information like this should be recorded as an RFC
causing extra work for the RFC production centre, or whether the eternal
existence of draft was a satisfactory historic reference, or whether a wiki was
a better approach. I certainly remember RTG drafts of this type being declined
RFC status at IESG level on that basis. This is clearly not a GENART issue, but
one that the IETG should be consistent on.

I note that the RFC2119 declaration is not of standard format and believe that
should be changed. However the RFC2119 declaration refers to a human behaviour
and my recollection is that IESG policy (after long discussion) was that this
was not appropriate. If I have misremembered I apologies, but the usage must be
aligned with policy.

Minor issues:None

Nits/editorial comments: None
