Thanks for this heads up.
The ASCII art diagrams in the PDF at:
    https://datatracker.ietf.org/documents/LIAISON/liaison-2013-06-06-the-iesg-and-the-iab-isoiec-jtc1-sc6-liaison-from-the-isoc-to-isoiec-jtc1sc6-and-its-national-body-members-in-relation-to-iso-iecjtc1-sc6_n15618-attachment-1.pdf

are regretably formatted with non-constant size spaces, so the diagrams
are perhaps much less useful than they could be.  Perhaps this document
could also be made available in .txt format?

I concur strongly with the IAB view, thank you for this.
