Hello,
At 10:52 29-03-2016, The IETF Trust wrote:

Section 7.2 of the Trust Agreement is as follows:

   "Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement all decisions of the
    Trustees must be approved by majority vote of the Trustees then in
    office."

Part V of the proposed policy states that: "If the Trustees decide by 
unanimous vote of the Trustees then in office (other than the Trustee 
in question)" ...

There seems to be a mismatch in the above.

   "The Trustees shall report any such determination to the IAOC for
    potential action."

I suggest that the report be sent to the IETF Community to be aligned 
with BCP 101.  The Trustees would already be taking action if they 
were to prevent an Eligible Person from participating in Trust activities.

S. Moonesamy
