And that is exactly the problem with 'non-voting' status in a committee

According to IOAC procedures:
"All decisions of the members must be approved by majority vote of
the members then in office."
I don't consider that as operating by consensus.
That is the tie-break rule. I can't speak for recent IAOCs, but when
I was a member we esentially always achieved consensus.
But my point is that I believe the IETF Chair *should* have accountability
and that means being a formal voting member.
