At least one RFC in IETF should clarify the management positions as we got
use to, as any organisation has. I think in IETF the management position
are IETF-Chair, WG Chairs and ADs (i.e. those who make decisions that
manage sessions/drafts). Secretaries are not managers, because they don't
make decisions within the organisation. However, this new draft is adding a
new management-position in IETF which is the Ombudsman.

This needs to be clarified. And they are two very different cases.
Hmm. AFAIK, a WG secretary is appointed by the chair, not the AD, or at
least not necessarily the AD. And we could discuss, if we really wanted to
descend into the pit of despair, scribes...
Actually, RFC 2418 leaves it unclear who appoints a WG Secretary. I think
it's been common for WG Chairs to get an OK from the AD, at least. But your
point is taken: what needs clarifying is whether the term "management
position"
includes all appointees, as well as positions filled by the NomCom.
