I think "to IESG review" is not really the goal here; the goal is to get them to become RFCs.

According to the Datatracker (<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-ipsec-meth/> and <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-ipsec-term/>), the last recorded action on them was taken about a year ago. None of the IESG DISCUSS issues seem to have been resolved, and the drafts just died. Wearing my IPsecME co-chair hat, I would like to see action on these these two documents be part of the new charter.
