Correct, Carl.  The issue is oversight -- who leads the committees that
review the financial statements and the IAD performance.  Allowing the IAD
to lead the review of his/her own performance does not make sense.

And I don't think anyone expected that. As I said before - IAOC has to make committees that do review; IAD should make committees that perform actions.

And I'd also argue that while it is the IAD's job to come up with the
budget, that does not happen in a vaccuum -- the ISOC, IAOC and IETF
community need to provide input into the service level that is expected,
and those changes need to be explicit.  That was, I think, Bob Kahn's
point at the plenary.

Agreed - and I do think the "vacuum" is a red herring (or bad drafting). Again, nobody wants that.

Rather than focussing on timelines (which after all, may change), I'd like
to see more discussion of the expected working relationship.  I don't
think we want the "throw it over the wall" process that seems to be
implied.
