In considering what is best choice here its a case of considering the role
of the office when setting such things up, rather than considering the
personal feelings of the current incumbent of the office (sorry Leslie!).
The iAB has an interest in this matter, and, as far as I can see, that
interest will not stop abruptly, nor should it. In making the IAB position
non-voting I think we are setting ourselves up for a source of potential
frustration. Thats not good.
Equally, in the grand scheme of things its a pretty minor matter to spend
time on

Probably because people who are influental outside their organization should
be curtailed. Say it's sufficient that you respect their opinion, and also
know that they have enough to do that they should be giving rough opinions
for actual voting members to ponder at length (i.e. read it once vs 3
times). I don't think the IAB chair will feel offended or second class for
that matter. Again I think Harald put it best, if they want to the should
be, but I just don't think they need the burden.
