As a matter of history:

My personal view: I don't think we should let the tail wag the dog, nor 
block this work on a new charter for the IAB.  This document could just 
as easily be processed as a BCP; the only issue being that the IESG 
would have to approve it.  If we want, we can get both IAB and IESG 
assent.  That has been previously done for RFC 7979.

It'd require that an IESG member, presumably the chair, sponsor the doc, 
and that it go through IETF last call and IESG evaluation.  If the IESG 
is unwilling to do this, we could revisit the matter.
