Mike:

> AFAICT from the ISOC website, the ISOC President is a member of the ISOC BOT.   There is no problem with the ISOC board appointing the ISOC president as their representative.  The change would give the ISOC board the same flexibility that the IAB is asking for - a choice over who they send over - rather than mandating it be the ISOC President.

The idea that the ISOC Board could appoint someone other than the ISOC President is not new. See [1]. During the discussion in 2011, it was also suggested that the ISOC President might want the flexibility to appoint a direct report.   The IAOC often gets advice from the ISOC CFO, so this would not be an unreasonable choice.
