Yes. Jay laid out the LLC criteria for cancellation in a message sent on 
February 12:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/TA9rALRWCqB2Y1AX9XjSWeX31-w/

He reiterated them on Feburary 24:

I know that the LLC has been monitoring the associated guidelines 
extremely closely.

Completely and entirely.

It would have been inappropriate for us to do so. Operational issues are 
the responsibility of the LLC, and therefore outside the purview of the 
IESG. See RFC 8711, section 4.3 for more information.
