That is my whole point in raising this issue. Since IASA includes the IAOC,
if we write "IASA" everywhere that makes sense, which is almost every
instance in the draft, our output is future-proofed. In a few places,
it makes sense to refer to the IAOC's oversight role.

If people agree with this, I was very specific about the text changes
in a previous message:
