Sending text on Re: Access control on the IETF web

[Ted Hardie <hardie@qualcomm.com>]

Harald asked me to send text; here's a first cut.

The IESG will develop a set of guidelines for updates to the IETF web.
The Secretariat will be responsible for updates to the IETF web, and
it will use the set of guidelines provided to determine whether specific
proposed updates are or are not acceptable.  The Secretariat may
at any time check with the IESG for clarification of the guidelines.  
Anyone
who proposed an update and was refused may request the IESG to
review the decision.

						regards,
								Ted
