  | Should I know what an "IESG(AD) directive" is?

Possibly not unless you've been involved in this stuff for a while.

It is when the IESG (or an Area Director) says "we won't allow this
to be published unless you make this change".   Sometimes they're
for good reasons, sometimes not...   But unless the request actually
compromises the integrity of the work (which something like changing
"amends" into "updates" certainly does not) they aren't worth arguing
about.

The IESG are the body who get (more or less) the final word on whether
or not an internet draft turns into an RFC, and becomes a proposed
standard.
