It seems to me that what would be required to do so would be three
statements:
ISOC's appointees do not represent ISOC, in the same way that IAB
and IESG appointees do not represent the IAB or IESG. They serve
the entire community.
Nomcom appointees do not represent a subclass of all IETF
participants, in the same way that IAB and IESG appointees do not
represent the IAB or IESG. They serve the entire community.
Since the IAOC manages the relationship between ISOC and the IETF,
direct understanding of both IETF and ISOC is of value in all
appointees.
Is there any reason the document shouldn't say that?
As one of the editors of this document I would note the following in
response to your suggestions, by way of explanation as to why these
statements are not in this draft:
- This document is a document that is limited to the definition of a
procedure for the IAB and IESG to follow. It deliberately does not extend
further than that quite limited brief, and did not intend to describe the
accountabilities of the individuals that are selected through the
application of this process.
- More generally, this document does not define the role or
accountabilities of the IAOC. This more general objective is part of the
intention of RFC 4071. Accountabilities of IAOC members are described in
section 3.3 of that document, and it is repeated again in section 4 of that
document. In reading that and comparing it to the three statements above
its my personal view that this covers the first two of the statements
proposed above.
- It is my view that the third statement above is beyond the scope of this
draft. From my understanding of the structure we (IETF and ISOC) are in, I
would not share your view that the "IAOC manages the relationship between
ISOC and the IETF". To my mind the IAOC manages one operational aspect of
this relationship, but as far as I can tell there's more to the
relationship than just the IAOC.
However, I would also note that this is an IAB and IESG document, and if
the IAB and IESG want these statements edited into the draft, then, of
course, its their call.

Geoff
