Officially, it was the chair of IRTF who appointed Kevin, so he's the one who can remove him. Thanks very much Yoav! That helps clear things up a bit for me, although not completely... I'm trying to combine what you've said here with David's email. For reference, here's the relevant bit from that email: On Dec 26, 2013, at 12:42 PM, David McGrew <mcgrew@cisco.com> wrote: > When Ran stepped down, I sought a co-chair. Strictly speaking, there does not need to be a co-chair. It is sufficient for IRTF purposes to have a single chair. In practice, it is better to have two chairs. This is especially true when the RG chair also authors RG documents; having a second chair enables us to avoid having a potential conflict of interest. There was not a public call for a co-chair to replace Ran; this is not unusual for an IRTF Research Group. I did have private discussions with a bunch of potential co-chair candidates at the time, who were people that were active in CFRG and in IETF security area at that time. Lars Eggert, who chairs the entire IRTF, was also involved in these discussions and was quite helpful. I asked the RG to affirm Kevin in the role of co-chair. I cannot recall anyone expressing any reservations about Kevin at the time, either publicly or privately. So, by combining your statements together, it sounds to me like David did not need the permission of the group to appoint Kevin, but he was polite and decided to ask for it anyway. Now, however, the group has had a chance to get to know Kevin, whereas before they appeared completely unfamiliar. Given this extra knowledge, it seems like the group's feedback on the appointment is more informed *now* than it was then, and hence perhaps deserving for more weight and consideration. David McGrew <mcgrew@cisco.com> wrote: > The Research Group needs to have chairs that it trusts, and who are trusted by the broader IETF and Internet communities that they work with. People who have worked with Kevin trust him, but there is widespread mistrust of NSA in those broader communities. The IRTF policies have not anticipated this situation. Please bear with the IRTF leadership team for a little bit; the holiday week in the U.S. has slowed us down.

My guess is first to the IRSG, and if you're still not satisfied, to the IAB. Roger. Thank you for your help, and all the clarifications and transparency on this! Cheers, Greg -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.
