I don’t think that relates to my suggestion.   I think you should distinguish between hiring someone (ISOC CEO, IETF Exec Dir, etc.) and for example, appointing a w.g. chair.   They both currently use dotted lines a text “appoint”.

A general comment, I wonder if this digram is trying to capture so much information in different line styles, box styles, etc., that it is becoming less useful (without a document that explains it).
