Dear Ray;
I support these changes. I have one nit.

The Trustees have considered the comments from the list and propose
the following amended revisions to the Trust Administrative
Procedures. The Trustees propose to take action at its April 17th
meeting and will consider all comments received by that date.
2. The Trustees shall select one Trustee to serve as the Chair of
the Trust.
a. The following Trustees are not eligible to serve as IETF Chair:
1. ISOC President
2. IAB Chair
3. IETF Chair
4. ISOC IAOC Appointee
5. IAD
b. The term of the Trust Chair shall be one year from the time of
selection or the remaining time of his or her tenure as a Trustee,
whichever is less. An individual may serve any number of terms as
Chair, if selected by the Trustees.
c. The Chair serves at the pleasure of the Trustees and may be
removed from that position at any time by a vote of 2/3 of the
voting Trustees, not counting the Trust Chair.
d. The Chair shall convene and preside over meetings of the Trustees
but shall have no other powers or authority beyond his or her powers
as a Trustee. If the Trust Chair is not available, then any other
Trustee may convene or preside over meetings of the Trustees in the
absence of the Trust Chair.
4. The Trust Agreement defines the quorum and voting rules for a
meeting. Motions passed by electronic means between meetings shall
be confirmed by a vote at the next possible meeting.
12. The Trustees are the current members of the IAOC.
I would prefer simply "The Trustees are current members of the IAOC."
as IAOC members who have not agreed in writing to become a Trustee are
not.
Regards
Marshall
When a member leaves the IAOC for whatever reason, he or she ceases
to be a Trustee. When a new member joins the IAOC, he or she becomes
a Trustee upon his or her agreement in writing to fulfill the duties
of a Trustee, as specified in the Trust Agreement.
a. If at any time the IAOC ceases to exist, or there are fewer than
three Trustees, then the IESG, or its successor, shall appoint
Trustees in accordance with Article VI of the Trust Agreement.

John, you wrote:

The Trustees are not talking about changing the terms of the
Trust Agreement, so this should not be necessary.
Good. But I was just trying to suggest, following what I
thought I saw in Marshall's note, that, if the Trust Agreement
is defective, one could try to change it. The other option is
to conform to it. Ignoring it and adopting procedures or
polices inconsistent with it --even if one believes those
policies will never be triggered-- is a non-starter.
I am worried about the IAOC and/or Trustees adopting
procedures that are inconsistent with the Trust Agreement.
Me too! It is not the intention of the Trustees to adopt
procedures that are inconsistent with the Trust Agreement.
if anything is going to be said, it needs to be consistent
with the Trust Agreement _and_ reflect the desires and intent
of the community.
I agree.
I think we are in synch.
I agree with the above, and I assure everybody that the intent
was always exactly that. There's definitely an error in the way
the current procedures were drafted; it was my error, and I have
evry confidence that the current Trustees will fix it.
Brian
