It might be helpful to talk about what could change, such as:
I've inserted some ideas about how to make such changes possible.
1. Less/no time on document reviews.
1A. All WGs do a near-perfect job on their drafts, including
complete management of cross-area reviews.
1B. Lower the current bar of near-perfection for document approval.
1C. IESG is allowed to reject a document as "Not ready" without
detailed explanation.
2. Less time managing working groups.
2A. All WG Chairs to do a near-perfect job.
2B. Quickly replace failing WG Chairs.
2C. Summary closure of failing WGs.
3. Fewer working groups to manage.
3A. IESG refuses the majority of proposed WGs.
3B. See 2C.
4. Fewer "extra" tasks (e.g., interfacing with other SDOs).
4A. Leave liaisons entirely to the designated liaison managers.
4B. Replace failing liaison managers. (IAB job)
4C. Simply refuse other extra tasks.
5. Less/no involvement with BoFs and other early-stage efforts.
5A. IAB spends less time on admin/politics and more time on Architecture,
including BOFs. Also see 3A.
6. Less/no involvement with creating the schedule.
[I'm not sure that will work. ADs are uniquely placed to
identify clashes and overlaps.]
