Re: [Mtgvenue] [Iasa20] Terminology issue in mtgvenue

Sorry for the delay! I just took a detailed look at the -16 version of the document at https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/draft-ietf-mtgvenue-iaoc-venue-selection-process-16.pdf and the diff in question at https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc8491-auth48diff.html.  

My opinion is that the draft revision made on 9/12/2017 to change instances of the IAOC to IASA are probably sufficient, though we have tended to update other docs to refer to the IETF Administration LLC when it was IAOC previously. Yes, you could make it IETF LLC as the diff proposes, but just generalizing to IASA also appears to work. So either approach will work IMO -- IASA or IETF LLC.

As a side note, one thing the diff does is drops the reference to RFC 4071's general appeals process. The diff proposes dropping that and the associated normative reference to RFC 4071. This might be one thing worth doing in the draft because there does not seem like there's much need to specifically call out the appeals process per se, and that appeals process is specified in IASA-related or other IETF process-related documents.

But... this is just my opinion as a co-chair. Will ask others in the IASA2 WG for feedback now (new thread).
