This took many weeks, considerable email, and several informal
discussions before the IESG was sure of its position and able to
record a conclusion in the meeting you cite. Since there was no
IETF contribution (I-D or email on a public list) this process
was indeed invisible. I would have preferred a discussion based
around an IETF draft, but we didn't have one.
