Thanks for the prompt reply.  One of the points which I missed in my 
previous comment was that the draft obsoletes RFC 4371.  The draft 
updates instead of obsoleting RFC 4071 by removing a sentence which 
RFC 4371 added to Section 3.2 of RFC 4071.

The appointments as specified in Section 2 are clear.

It might be useful to publish the "why" if the RFCs are viewed as 
part of an archival series.

The WG charter states that existing IETF and IAB appointments are out 
of scope.  As the draft specifies new appointments, I presume that 
matters related to appointments are included as part of this Last 
Call.  The IETF rules regarding recalls are specified in this draft 
by reference.  Is it fair that IETF rules with respect to the recall 
of IETF Trustees be unavailable to roughly one third of the 
IETF?  That is the question which the IESG may have to give some thought to.

As a comment about BCP 10, a side effect of removing
the re
quirement that trustees be drawn from the members of the IAOC is that 
BCP 10 would no longer be applicable given that the document does not 
say anything about IETF trustees.  That also removes an ineligibility 
requirement which is currently applicable to an IETF trustee given 
that the that "IETF rules" are ambiguous.
