Re: IAOC: delegating ex-officio responsibility

2011-03-30 07:57:22
I was not assuming that delegation was limited to another member of the same
NomCom-reviewed body. One case was that you might delegate to a
NomCom-reviewed member who then leaves the NomCom-reviewed body. If the
NomCom-reviewed chair and the NomCom-reviewed body were OK with that person
continuing to serve as the delegate, how wrong is that?

Consider the case where an officer is replaced by the NomCom at least
partly because he has not handled his ex-officio positions well... and
then his replacement decides to keep him on in the ex-officio position
as a delegate... perhaps unaware that that's why the NomCom made its
choice.

I was assuming that the delegating chair/CEO would still be responsible for
the performance of this role, and the IETF Chair and IAB Chair are both
evaluated by NomCom, so I'm not sure why this is different from being a
liaison manager to another SDO - the IAB is responsible for shepherding that
liaison relationship, but most of the liaison managers are not
NomCom-reviewed (and none of them are NomCom-evaluated as liaison managers).

Liaisons are not voting members of the bodies they're liaisons to.
Ex-officio IAOC members are.
