Well, OK.  We're looking forward to the draft describing what such a
board's charter is, how its members are selected and what their
qualifications would be, where its operations fit into the IETF
process, what the appeal process will be for people unhappy with its
conclusions, what if any budget it would need, and all the other
details needed to create and run it.

R's,
John
