If you review the announcement made in October of 2017, you'll see this:

"The Internet Architecture Board is pleased to announce the appointment of
Adrian Farrel as Independent Submission Editor (ISE).  This appointment is
for a two-year term, beginning on February 15th, 2018."

Since his term was going to end between IETF 106 and IETF 107, we are
asking for input on a re-appointment.  You'll see that the IAB of the time
did similar calls for comment during Nevil's term(s).

I'm happy to report that Adrian did not indicate a need to step down.
(That's why this is a call for comments, not a call for candidates).

I take it your feedback to the IAB is that making a change here is
ill-timed.  Thanks for that feedback.  If you have direct feedback on
Adrian's work, we will be happy to receive that as well, in the channels
previously named.

Thanks,

Ted
