Re: IAOC: delegating ex-officio responsibility

2011-03-30 07:33:22
Some suggestions:


Replace "delegate their responsibilities" with ", by written action, delegate 
specific responsibilities of their position".

Add after "IESG and IAB respectively."  "A delegation must be reconfirmed if a 
change in the scope of the delegation is desired."

Replace "The terms of delegation..." with "The effective duration of delegation 
shall be selected by the delegator, but shall not extend past the end of that 
delegator's current term. Delegations may be renewed indefinitely."

Add at the end "A delegation may be revoked with or without prior notice at any 
time by the delegating chair or CEO or by action of the confirming body."

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
