RE: Options for IETF administrative restructuring

All,

My two cents worth...

1.  I'm inclined to prefer option A or B, on the grounds of keeping
things simple ( BUT see point 4, below ).

2.  I think that we shouldn't broaden the discussion at this time ( as
Avri suggested ), on the grounds of keeping things simple.

3.  These choices don't prevent us from widening the discussion and
making further changes later.  Management requires continually
monitoring developments and reviewing the management techniques in use.

4.  However, Margaret has written about problems with existing
arrangements.  While option A or B *might* solve the CNRI/Secretariat
issues, how would it help the ( apparent ) RFC Editor issues ?  As I
understand it, the RFC Editor contract is already managed by ISOC.  If
we have a problem with the way that relationship works now, why would it
help to put the CNRI/Secretariat relationship on the same footing ?
Since I don't know what the specific problems are, this needs to be
addressed by someone with the benefit of IESG / IAB experience.

5.  Section 3.1 of Carl's Report ( Page 20 ) states "Evaluation of
applicants might consist of a search committee appointed by the IETF
Chair."  Isn't the appointment of committee members what the IETF
empowers the Nomcom for ?
