Section 8 says:

   Updates, amendments, and refinements to this document can be produced
   using the process documented herein but shall be published and
   operative only after (a) obtaining the agreement of the IAB and the
   IESG and (b) ensuring that the IETF LLC has no objections regarding
   its ability to implement any proposed changes.

It should say:

   Updates, amendments, and refinements to this document can be
   produced using the process documented herein but, unless otherwise
   specified in this document, shall be published and operative only
   after (a) obtaining the agreement of the IAB and the IESG and (b)
   ensuring that the IETF LLC has no objections regarding its ability
   to implement any proposed changes.

Notes:

Section 7 explicitly states:

"Proposals that affect these properties are possible within the processes defined in this document."

And it goes on from there to discuss RSWG/RSAB review.

Therefore, it should not be necessary for the IAB, IESG, and LLC to approve changes in Section 7.  That is just a for-instance.  There may be other examples.

Verifier Note: Given the text in section 7, the process is clear and this is therefore not an errata. However, this could be further clarified in a document update.
