----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Having not followed this at all I do see some question marks in regards to the
IRTF that I would like to have clarification on thus the Discuss position.

Why isn't IRTF disucssed in this section, or having its own section of similar
nature?

4.6.  Relationship of the IETF LLC Board to the IETF Leadership

   The IETF LLC Board is directly accountable to the IETF community for
   the performance of the IASA 2.0.  However, the nature of the Board's
   work involves treating the IESG and IAB as major internal customers
   of the administrative support services.  The Board and the IETF
   Executive Director should not consider their work successful unless
   the IESG and IAB are also satisfied with the administrative support
   that the IETF is receiving.

Can someone please explain why the IETF LLC role for IRTF are almost not at all
described? For example is IRTF not a significant internal customer?

Also, what is the relation between the IRTF and IETF community? As the IETF
community does not appear to have a definition, it is not possible to determine
if IRTF is counted as part of the IETF community or not. In my thinking the
IETF and IRTF communities are not the same set, and it is not obvious that IETF
community is the super set.

I think some clarification on the IRTFs relation are needed in this document.
