It's clear that an RFC track is no longer REQUIRED for the IESG to direct 
IANA to create an entry for the standards tree. But it's not clear how one 
asks, absent the RFC, the IESG to take the action. Once the new policy is 
in place I will want to provide some very simple, walk-me-through-it, steps 
for the W3C of how one goes about getting the IESG to take the action.
