Summary: This I-D is ready for BCP status but has some issues that must be
addressed.  These are detailed below.

Major issues:
1. I do not get a sense of how many "moderator teams" there will be?  Is there
one IETF-wide moderator team?  Or does each area have a moderator team? 2.
Section 2: It was not entirely clear to me that *this* I-D was also
establishing a "moderator team".  I would make this explicit.  Suggested
change: s/This memo proposes a consistent approach to moderating the IETF's
   various public fora./This memo proposes a consistent approach to moderating
   the IETF's various public fora and outlines the process for establishing a
   moderator team/

Minor issues:
1. Section 2.1: s/IESG must not appoint a moderator who/IESG must not appoint a
moderator an individual who is/ 2. Section 4.2: s/may be made only a year/may
be made no earlier than a year/

Nits/editorial comments:
1. Section 2: s/previous model Appendix B.2 and/previous model (cf. Appendix
B.2) and/
