John,

the next chapters of the document are supposed to be "a bit more detail".
But it would be wrong to go into too much detail in the "charter" document; 
I'm working on another document called "iesg-procedures" which will 
hopefully be a better place to put the details.

Yes, the IESG has on occasion sent back documents for atrocious abuse of 
the English language, and it's relatively routine to mention examples of 
broken English when the document is sent back for other reasons; how can we 
tell if the conclusion is right if we can't parse the sentence?
But we don't do "English review" per se. Neither does the RFC Editor (much).
