The set of options has not been rejected, at least in the current draft.
The current draft leaves the structure open-ended, expecting the IETF
Chair to consult with assorted folks (including IETF leadership, the
community, ISOC folks) and figuring out the right approach. Given the
unusual set of circumstances (for example, the fact that this is
traditionally a corporate Human Resources function but that the
relationship is not employee-employer), leaving this flexible seemed to
make sense. I'd personally prefer that we as a community don't try to
figure out all the details, but rather trust the IETF Chair to consult
with the right people and figure out something that works.
