Hi. Largely in response to the call from Andrew and others to post an actual I-D with an alternate proposal, I've just posted draft-klensin-iaoc-member-01. Note that this is a -01 version of one of the proposals, referred to in a few postings, to reform the IAOC membership (and the IAB and IETF Chair roles in it) a few years ago. It differs from the earlier version in several respects, but the most important one is that it contains considerable discussion and rationale for what is being proposed, probably saving readers of this list some rather long email messages from me. A few things it does not address, or makes proposals about, that are different from what I think have been trends on the list are worth calling out: --On Wednesday, February 03, 2016 15:30 +1300 Brian E Carpenter <brian.e.carpenter@gmail.com> wrote: > I think the IETF Chair slot is a different matter.

I think it's exactly right that the IETF > Chair votes in the IAOC, because nobody else has the same > overview, and also because I believe that any IETF Chair who > did not closely track the IAOC's business would be > irresponsible. I believe most of the reasoning above but not the conclusion. I do think that, under normal circumstances, the IETF Chair would be the right appointee from the IESG. However, I think that unusual circumstances might arise -- that someone else might be a better choice or that an IETF Chair might be faced with a choice of doing a good job on a few things or a bad job on many or that a Nomcom might look at someone and say "really good IETF Chair material but a bad candidate for the IAOC" -- and that it is more sensible to give the IESG the discretion to sort that out. As far as "on behalf of the IETF", that is why the Nomcom selects several IAOC members and there are proposals floating around to increase that number or percentage. The IESG (and, in particular, the IETF Chair) are likely to have some special insights but, unless those can be effectively communicated and the rest of the IAOC persuaded, we are talking, not about better representation of positions but about concentration of power (comments about "kings" incorporated by reference). Note that the draft contains appendices that discuss other changes it doesn't make, either because I (and my reading of at least parts of the list discussion) believe they would be bad ideas or because they lie outside the scope of the document as now defined. The most important of those is the question of whether we have reached the point that we should partially or completely separate the membership of the IAOC from the Trustees of the IETF Trust. Comments in Appendix A.2 of the new I-D address that issue to some extent. best, john
