I am not sure that the proposed changes -- especially the relatively
important one shown below, deleting the inappropriate text from the
IsisSystemID DESCRIPTION clause -- would be allowed by the RFC
Editor without consultation with the IESG/cognizant ADs.  It's
possible to put this is in as an IESG note, but it's really better
to have the I-D that is sent to the RFC Editor be as close as
possible to what you want to publish.

In any case it does not seem like full 2-week WG last call should be
needed for these changes ... seems to me it should suffice to have a
short (e.g. 48-hour) "does anybody object to these changes" last
call.  The document will after all still be going through IETF last
call before it gets to the IESG.
