Re: [Rfced-future] Model proposal

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Martin proposed:

> Concretely, this proposes forming a RFC Series Evolution program of the IAB that uses the auspices of an IAB program, one that closely follows the model proposed in [RSEME <https://martinthomson.github.io/rfced-model/draft-thomson-rfced-model.html#RSEME>]. This results in a group that follows [WG <https://martinthomson.github.io/rfced-model/draft-thomson-rfced-model.html#WG>] procedures, with the exception that the functions performed by the IESG are instead performed by the IAB. In particular, selection of chairs and appeals regarding the execution of the process are directed to the IAB to resolve.


In an IETF WG, the appeals chain is:

   WG Chair --> Area Director --> IESG --> IAB --> ISOC Board

I think this proposal is saying that for this activity, it is:

   Program Chair --> IAB --> ISOC Board

Is every decision appealed to the IAB possible to escalate to the  ISOC Board?  Usually, disputes can only be escelated to the ISOC Board that claim that Internet standards procedures were not followed.  However, the appeals chain is quite short here, and ir is unclear to me that the Internet standards procedures applies to IAB programs.
