Re: IAOC: delegating ex-officio responsibility

2011-09-22 06:41:36
What is needed is someone who is fully engaged in the IAOC.

Having a vote doesn't automatically get you that. Indeed, I would
assume most votes are a formality, with decisions reached mostly by
consensus. If, in fact, votes are close on a regular basis, the IAOC
likely has bigger problems, IMO.

Seems to me that having an I* chair vote is designed to force them to
pay attention and be accountable.

The key quesion, IMO, is whether it is acceptable to have an I* chair
offload the responsibility for paying attention and being engaged.

I'm hearing some say "yes" and others say "no".
