The one thing that I agree sticks out is that the language of
3777 talks about firing *one* person - in the case where the
group is dysfunctional, it may be better to take the group
out, as you say.

I think this is the only significant issue. The IAOC is either
going to meet the needs of the community _as a group_ or it
isn't. And, if it isn't, we should have a procedure for
removing the whole crew. Otherwise, we will find ourselves back
in the position that the community has, sad to say, sometimes
found itself in with the IESG: the disfunction is obvious, but
it is extremely difficult to get sufficient information to blame
and remove one person as the key to the issues. That becomes
even more important when the group --either in the IESG example
or IAOC -- starts behaving like a team, i.e., pulling together
to hide problems with its members, putting being able to work
well with others in the group ahead of particular decisions, and
so on.
Basically, I think we have running code that this is an issue,
and we need to develop a mechanism --other than recall and
non-reappointment of individuals-- for dealing with it should it
occur. Indeed, having such a mechanism may be an important tool
for preventing it from occurring, which makes the mechanism even
more important.
