Joel:

It seems to me that you would need to pot other things that are in this IESG statement into the BCP that updates RFC 2026.  You are really building on top of the procedure that are required by the existing IESG statement.  For example, RFC 2026 does not require an IETF Last Call for an informational or experimental document at all.
