Joel and EKR:
>

In 2007, the IESG published this statement: https://ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/area-director-sponsoring-documents/ <https://ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/area-director-sponsoring-documents/>

In this statement, the IESG says that it will not approve any document without an IETF Last Call.  See the first paragraph of Section 4.

I suggest a better way forward would be to post an updated IESG statement that requires consensus as well.
