The document's phrasing needs to be simpler, for clarity and
to avoid redundancies that invite divergence:
That is a better way to state much of the point I was trying to
make.

In theoretical terms, Klensin's observation that the precise
boundaries of "first IETF meeting" are not well specified is
correct. Rather than try to fix that I suggest language along
the lines of:
during the first -> around the time of the first
That's sloppy formal specification, of course, but will work
just fine for the purpose here.
Wfm. And, again, consistent with the general observation that
we need to assume we can trust people to act sensibly and should
not over-specify things. If we can not make that trust
assumption, we should be trying to work on those issues, not on
this relatively minor topic.

...the term of an IAOC member begins at the start of the
IAOC meeting, which is held at the first IETF meeting of the
year, and ends at the start of the corresponding IAOC meeting,
in the year completing the term.
Subject to the "around the time of" suggestion above or
something equivalent, wfm.
And I agree with Dave about vacancies too -- let's not make this
complicated and risk creating confusion or what he refers to as
divergence.
