This is a quite understandable goal. But I am not sure that as stated it
can be met.
Let us assume that some of the activities that the IAD is responsible for
contracting includes the Executive Director function. (I have difficulty
seeing it as a separate contract on its own.)
It is the IAD's job to award that contract.
One would hope that the IESG had review over the person who they had to
work with that closely. But such review is VERY different from getting to
choose the person.
Just my reading of the documents,

I think the IESG's concern here is that they, rather than the IAOC
would like to designate who the executive director is.
The executive director is very involved in making the IESG and process
functions run smoothly.
It seems like significant friction would be created if the executive
director was not someone the IESG was comfortable with.
