I think it's right that this document describes shepherding from
WG last call to IESG approval.  However, that being the subject of
this draft doesn't necessarily mean that the shepherding process
stops there -- only that this document doesn't describe more...

I think that it's been the intention that a document shepherd keeps
shepherding the document all the way to published document (other
PROTO and/or IESG members will chime in with protests or agreements
here, I'm sure) so we should either not change the paragraphs you
quote above, or clarify them in a slightly different manner.

If we first can establish whether we agree on the shepherding process
continuing beyond the IESG approval, I'm sure we can propose some
alternative text for the paragraphs above.  It'd be good to have an
explicit agreement first, though.


Regards,

	Henrik
