Re: [IAOC] question to the IAOC: new committee members

["Leslie Daigle" <[e-mail]>]

Jordi,

Whether or not the structure of the IAOC (size, composition) is right is 
a separate conversation, and let’s leave that aside.

The IAOC’s Committees are populated by and work at the pleasure of the 
IAOC, which decides who makes sense to put on them, what expertise and 
experience is important at a moment in time, and how best to put people 
together that they believe will work well together.  We do review 
committee membership on (at least) an annual basis.  If that sounds 
self-serving, it perhaps is:  it’s how the IAOC gets work done.  It 
also means that the committees do not make decisions — they do work 
and present recommendations to the IAOC, which makes decisions and takes 
responsibility for the outcomes.

We have not published detailed review our our decision process about 
composing the committees — these are intimately tied to the details of 
how we get our work done and they are, frankly, personnel decisions.

In making our call for community volunteers, we did try to be clear 
about what we were looking for.   We are trying to be clear and 
transparent about who is helping us get our work done (i.e., who is on 
the committees).

I understand you are not happy with our choices, and I’m sorry you 
feel that way.   I am around through midday tomorrow if you want to talk 
about it offline.

Leslie.
