COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Version -09 resolves my DISCUSS by making it clear that the limitations on the
IESG appointment that I was concerned about do not exist.  Thanks. for the
lively discussion on that point.

This non-DISCUSS comment is still applicable to -09:
>> — Section 6.10 —
>> What does “from time to time” mean here?  I can’t figure out how to fit the
>> normal English meaning of the idiom in here
>
> Hmmm, I don't find this confusing but a term like "as needed" may be more
clear? > I don't think we intend to limit the ability of the board to adjourn
official business > until they can get a quorum of folks in the room.

Ah, I see what you're getting at, then.  So I would just remove the
phrase altogether; what remains says exactly what you mean:

NEW
   If a quorum is not present at any
   meeting of the Board, the Directors present may adjourn the meeting
   without notice, other than announcement at the
   meeting, until a quorum is present.
END

--------------------
And these are left here for the record, but no action is expected:

— Section 4.1 —
Is there a difference, now, between the meanings of “IASA” and “IASA 2.0”?

— Section 6.9 —
I’ll point out that two thirds of 5 is not 3, so both a quorum and a vote on an
“act of the Board” require a supermajority of 4 out of 5 Directors.  That seems
like it could end up being problematic.
