I prefer the term "organizational home", because it doesn't raise the 
issue of who conceived whom.  But, close enough.
As far as the organizational chart goes, I'll take that request as 
feedback for the "Scenario O" derived BCP or other follow-on 
documents.  The original Scenario O proposal tried (but apparently 
failed) to make the following structure clear:
[Please note that I am simply attempting to summarize Scenario O, not 
to make an pronouncements about how things must be.  This is all 
subject to community review and consensus.]
The IETF Administrative Directory (IAD) is a full-time employee of 
ISOC selected and reviewed by a subset of the IETF Administrative 
Oversight Committee (IAOC), including at a minimum the ISOC 
President/CEO and IETF Chair.  The IAD reports to the full IAOC, 
although it is likely that the IAOC will delegate week-to-week or 
month-to-month management of the IAD (as appropriate) to a subset of 
the full IAOC (their decision).
Members of the IAOC are largely volunteers selected by the IETF. 
Three are selected by the IETF NomCom (including the IETF Chair Ex 
Officio), one is selected by the IESG, one by the IAB, and two by the 
ISOC Board (including the ISOC President/CEO ex officio).  In this 
role, the IAOC members are accountable to, and report to, the IETF 
community.  None of these details are nailed down, though, so please 
make suggestions if you think that this group should be comprised 
differently.
It is a responsibility of the IAD to develop an IETF Administrative 
Support Activity (IASA) budget that is approved by both the IAOC and 
the ISOC Board.  Other than budget approval and whatever financial 
controls, budget tracking or financial reporting the ISOC Board deems 
appropriate, the ISOC Board has no direct management responsibilities 
for IASA or the IAD.
If you still consider that to be unclear, perhaps you could provide 
an "organizational chart" for some portion of the current IETF 
leadership, and I could use that as a guide for constructing one for 
the IASA?
For those of you who may be interested, there is an issue tracker 
queue for specific issues with the Scenario 0 proposal.  It is 
available at https://rt.psg.com (user: ietf, passwd: ietf), and the 
queue is named "scenario-o".  We're tracking these issues for 
resolution in a "Scenario O"-based BCP or other follow-on documents. 
Please let me know if we have missed any specific issues that have 
been reported regarding the Scenario O proposal.
Thanks,
Margaret
