On the IAB:
I do not agree that the focus needs to be on the "A" of architecture. There is 
not a lot that the IAB does that is not in its charter. I believe that the 
focus needs to be on the "B" of board. In other words, just as in the IAOC more 
oversight. During my tenure we took a number of steps to move the handy work 
into programs and initiatives in which the execution of projects could take 
place so that the IAB members themselves could oversee but that journey was far 
from complete.

For the IAOC and IAB these will be difficult challenges that cannot be enforced 
externally but also need an evolutionary culture change . Not only in the I* 
bodies themselves but also how the NOMCOM.
