I think that what Eliot would like to do is change "IASA" to "LLC".

Lou has suggested that "IASA" is an abstraction (a layer of indirection)
which was resolved to IAOC before, and that now resolved to "LLC".

Eliot has then asked, if IASA is a superset of LLC, what is there of
IASA which is not LLC.  If it's empty, why make it hard for the reader,
and just dereference the pointer.

I can see both points.

I suggest the text of the abstract be:
    The IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) (implemented by the IETF
    LLC) is responsible for arranging the selection and operation of the IETF
    plenary meeting venue.  ...


Intro:
   The IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) is
   responsible for arranging the selection and operation of the IETF
   plenary meeting venue.  Until he fall of 2018, the IASA was embodied in
   the form of the IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC).  From
   fall 2018 onwards, the IASA was implemented by the IETF LLC.  This
   document uses the abstract term "IASA" to refer to both embodiments.

   The purpose of this document is to guide the IASA...
