Last year, I read a blog article [1]:   The following text caught my 
attention: "served on the Internet Engineering Steering Group (the 
board of the IETF)".  I was a bit puzzled by the description of that 
group given that it does not match a description which I read several 
months or more before that.  A few days ago, I read the thread about 
"Management team".  In simple terms, the board of an entity is not 
part of the Management team.

Last year, I submitted an Internet-Draft [2].  I provided my view 
about some parts of the Internet Standards Process in that document, 
together with the logical basis for that view.  One of the arguments 
made against the proposal was that it would be risky to adopt given 
that there are bad people on the Internet and they may misuse the 
"right of redress".  It is ironic that the Internet Engineering 
Steering Group gave its approval for IETF attendees to "sign the blue 
sheets" by typing in their names in a web-based collaborative 
real-time editor which does not provide verification process.
