I claim that the first two items are independent of I* chairs being voting 
members of the IAOC.

I also claim that for the third item there is no necessity for the I* chairs to 
be a voting member, nor for the fourth. That said, I am sensitive to the 
argument that if I* chairs are members they may actually pay more attention 
(human nature and such) and that being effective at those item without being a 
member is tough.
