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).

It reads as a generic "may delegate their responsibilities".
So taking that paragraph out of context may confuse people.
Why not make it explicit:

   The IETF chair, the IAB chair, and the ISOC President/CEO may
   delegate their IAOC and/or IETF Trust responsibilities to other
   persons.  ...
