Dear Colleagues,
I have just chartered a very short draft that intends to update BCP101. It can
be found at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kolkman-iasa-ex-officio-membership
The draft is very short and contains only a few sentences of substance:
The IETF chair, the IAB chair, and the ISOC President/CEO may
delegate their responsibilities to other persons. The delegations by
the IETF chair and the IAB chair need to be confirmed by the IESG and
IAB respectively. The terms of delegation is for a longer term for
instance aligned with the IESG and IAB appointment cycles (roughly
anual).
John Klensin made me aware he also had a similar idea earlier:
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-klensin-iaoc-member-00.txt
The main difference is between his and this draft is that John's I-D makes the
person the chair delegates to a non-voting liaison. I have a small preference
for the IAB and the IESG keeping the control point, and I implicitly assume
that for IASA matters the persons delegated to will escalate to the chairs and
ask for specific guidance when appropriate. I realize that for the Trust
anybody serves on personal title. For the trust alignment with the IAOC
membership is just a practical considerations.
The shared requirement is unloading the I* chairs and the ISOC president and
empowering the people that serve in that role to organize themselves. (I should
have paid more attention to this much earlier.)
I plan to seek a sponsoring AD for getting this I-D published as a BCP shortly.
Assuming this is an appropriate list for further discussion,
yours,
--Olaf
