INTERNET ENGINEERING STEERING GROUP

The Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) is responsible for technical
management of IETF activities and the Internet standards process.

The IESG administers the process according to the rules and procedures that have
been ratified by the Internet Society trustees [RFC 2026]. It is directly
responsible for the actions associated with entry into and movement along the
Internet "standards track," including final approval of specifications as
Internet Standards. 

The IESG consists of the Area Directors (ADs) who are selected by
the Nominations Committee (NomCom) and are appointed for two years. The process
for choosing the members of the IESG is detailed in RFC 8713, "IAB, IESG, IETF
Trust, and IETF LLC Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Operation of
the IETF Nominating and Recall Committees."
