Well, I think Andy is right here (the IAB certainly appoints IETF liaisons
to other SDOs as directional), but that's side-stepping the more
interesting question, which is not what we call this role, but whether we
expect Nomcom to send anything back to the IAOC via the (the draft calls
it) advisor.

And that question may not need to affect the resulting text (
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7437#section-4.9 says

   An advisor is responsible for such duties as specified by the
   invitation that resulted in the appointment.

which is pretty darned broad), but if it might affect the resulting text,
that would be good to know sooner, rather than later.

Thanks,

Spencer
