Hi John -
Your note seems like an outlier. In particular, it takes a really
*strong* stance on protecting people from each other because
people *will* act badly. For example, the way I read your
note, the IESG will micromanage and the IASA/IAD will order
bagels flown in daily from New York. Appeals will be a daily
happening and people will hire lawyers instead of working it out.
John's note took a stronger stand than I would have taken, but I
happen to agree with most of his points - especially that IASA/IAD
effectiveness should be evaluated in large slices. Maybe annually,
certainly not decision-by-decision.
In my second marriage, I have learned that in a partnership vital to
both parties, I don't get to pick the parts I like and demand that the
other parts change. It's a package deal. If the package works, great,
but trying to turn a package that doesn't work into one that does,
part by part, just isn't worth the aggravation and agony.
Spencer
