I guess I don't see how this would help.  As far as I can tell, people
don't trust the IESG because (a) because IESG sometimes pushes back
on working groups (yes, this is their job) and (b) people
frequently don't understand why IESG is doing this. ISOC isn't going to
help either of those.

We need to find ways to make the pushback less frequent, which generally
means (a) improving the quality of WG output and(b) making IESG in
general, and the criteria for acceptance of standards in particular,
more transparent.  We do not need to make the system more complicated by
introducing yet another player. 

After all, ISOC is probably even less well understood by the average
IETFer than IESG is. Give them more power and people will become more
suspicious of them, too.
