if indeed RFC 2606 (a.k.a, BCP 32) said "all domain names in 
RFCs MUST use one of the following bases" then a blocking DISCUSS 
by an IESG member would be a reasonable thing.  RFC 2606 does not 
say that and, thus, a blocking DISCUSS is not reasonable

if the IESG had posted a set of rules that said the same thing 
and asked for community comment and the comunity consensus supported 
the rules then a blocking DISCUSS by an IESG member would be a 
reasonable thing. But no such rules were posted and no such comunity 
consensus was shown. (Actually, I whoud hope that comunity consensus
woud be against the idea of the IESG doing any such thing since 
such things should be left to normal IETF process rather 
that to management from the top.)
