As I said before, I don't think the distinction between contractor and
employee is substantive to the IETF.   Perhaps those that think this
distinction is substantive could elaborate on their reasons why?

AFAICT the only reason that has been given for this distinction being
meaningful is "staff capture".  But the proper control on that is good
oversight by the community, which is what the board is there for.  And if
the board is not exercising proper oversight of the organization, then we
will have much worse problems than whether the RFC staff are contractors.
