[mpowr] RE: [Solutions] Troops versus superpower

Since the procedural monitoring does not require the elevated
technical knowledge of the technical review, the obvious
organization to support it is the IETF Secretariat, perhaps
organized as an association of the Internet Society.  
Parallels are found in IEEE (IEEE Standards Association) and ITIC
(INCITS), as well as many other organizations sponsoring SDOs.

Process management folks should probably be paid employees, 
not volunteers.  They should receive direction principally from an
appropriate policy board and report organizationally 
to a standards association tied to a sponsoring organization.  
The policy board may very well be IAB or IESG, but its
responsibilities should be as directors, rather than as participants.
See what I mean about this being a Big Picture problem?
