Which one is more likely to be able to learn about it?

If that were the extent of this discussion, then the answer would be obvious. 
 It is not that simple.

I understand.  I was responding only to the discussion of the fact that we 
couldn't find a candidate with expertise in congestion control, so we shouldn't 
appoint anyone.

If we absolutely need someone with that expertise on the IESG, that isn't 
likely to be resolved by proposals to reorganize the IESG and/or eliminate this 
position, either.
