The Trustees have considered the comments from the list and propose the 
following amended revisions to the Trust Administrative Procedures.  The 
Trustees propose to take action at its April 17th meeting and will 
consider all comments received by that date.

2. The Trustees shall select one Trustee to serve as the Chair of the 
Trust. 

a. The following Trustees are not eligible to serve as IETF Chair:
    1. ISOC President
    2. IAB Chair
    3. IETF Chair
    4. ISOC IAOC Appointee
    5. IAD

b. The term of the Trust Chair shall be one year from the time of 
selection or the remaining time of his or her tenure as a Trustee, 
whichever is less.  An individual may serve any number of terms as 
Chair, if selected by the Trustees.

c. The Chair serves at the pleasure of the Trustees and may be removed 
from that position at any time by a vote of 2/3 of the voting Trustees, 
not counting the Trust Chair.

d. The Chair shall convene and preside over meetings of the Trustees but 
shall have no other powers or authority beyond his or her powers as a 
Trustee.  If the Trust Chair is not available, then any other Trustee 
may convene or preside over meetings of the Trustees in the  absence of 
the Trust Chair.

4. The Trust Agreement defines the quorum and voting rules for a 
meeting. Motions passed by electronic means between meetings shall be 
confirmed by a vote at the next possible meeting.

12. The Trustees are the current members of the IAOC. When a member 
leaves the IAOC for whatever reason, he or she ceases to be a Trustee. 
When a new member joins the IAOC, he or she becomes a Trustee upon his 
or her agreement in writing to fulfill the duties of a Trustee, as 
specified in the Trust Agreement.

a. If at any time the IAOC ceases to exist, or there are fewer than 
three Trustees, then the IESG, or its successor, shall appoint Trustees 
in accordance with Article VI of the Trust Agreement.
