It should say:
After review and consideration of significant errata, the IESG will perform an IETF-wide Last Call of at least four weeks on the requested reclassification. If there is consensus for reclassification, the RFC will be reclassified with or without publication of a new RFC.
Notes:
Some people seem to have interpreted this text in a more restrictive manner than intended by the authors. Advancement from Proposed Standard to Internet Standard does not require the publication of a new RFC. Reclassification of an existing RFC is allowed, but reclassification in conjunction with publication of a new RFC is also allowed.
