Re: AdminRest: IASA BCP: Executive Director

This is a quite understandable goal.  But I am not sure that as stated it 
can be met.
Let us assume that some of the activities that the IAD is responsible for 
contracting includes the Executive Director function.  (I have difficulty 
seeing it as a separate contract on its own.)
It is the IAD's job to award that contract.
One would hope that the IESG had review over the person who they had to 
work with that closely.  But such review is VERY different from getting to 
choose the person.

Just my reading of the documents,
