As far as I understand the purpose of directorates, they are designed
to provide support for ADs, and not for WGs.  My understanding of the
DNS Directorate and its structure conforms to that.

The Directorate's composition will, I suppose, perhaps need
adjustment, because two of its members (Olafur and me) will disappear:
our roles are ex-officio, and in the event there's no office, there's
no office to be out of.

In any case,

they are plainly not tied together.  For instance, the DNS Directorate
also serves the OPS ADs, and the chairs of DNSOP are ex-officio
members too.

Best,
