Maybe the Areas could survive as AD specializations, but not > as globs of WGs. Exactly. (I share your concerns about IESGs-within-IESGs.) And WGs could participate (via feedback) in the "AD" assignment process. If you're not happy with your WG's AD, ask for a new one. Hopefully this wouldn't happen much. The nomcom's work might get harder, or easier -- I'm not sure. If there's a vacancy to be filled: look for a generalist, unless there's a particular specialty that the IESG is badly in need of. Again, if too much structure is the problem (the WG square pegs not fitting in the "area" circular slots), then reducing the amount of structure seems likely better than adding structure. Nico --
