I'm trying to avoid repeating myself, so I won't comment on everything.

(Basically, when I looked at this I assumed that the three organizations - 
IESG, IAB and ISOC - should have similar treatments
unless there was a good reason not to.

To the contrary, I think there are four organizations involved (IETF, IESG, IAB 
and ISOC)
that have very distinctive roles, and there is no reason to look for symmetry.

There may be a reason from the IAOC's point of view to require the ISOC 
president in the
ISOC slot, but then again there may not - I'd like to hear from them on this 
point.

Well, I don't think that it's really the IAOC's call.

If not, then giving the ISOC BOT the
ability to pick their representative seems a useful tweak to the current 
rules).

It isn't the ISOC BOT. It's the ISOC acting as an employer and funding agency. 
So
I agree with John on this: the ISOC President/CEO is the right person.

I should also clarify that I'm not proposing actually splitting the job of IESG
Chair from that of IETF Chair. I'm simply observing that they are two very 
different
roles, and speaking for the IESG on admin matters is different from speaking
for the IETF as a whole on admin or policy matters.
