In my experience, IESG review brings up comments that are for the authors to fix, instead of IESG fixing them for you.

The review in the IESG is now rehashing those debates but changing the outcome. The changes in the charter are thus subvert the consensus that was carefully built. The proposed changes therefore undermine and jeopardize the work that the proposed WG could produce.
