[ I'm moving iab@ to bcc:, as most IAB members are already here, and I'm sure they'll appreciate the reduction in duplication. ]

I don't see how that follows. We have plenty of people who lead discussions and processes in this community, and yet they still have oversight, checks and balances. There may be reasons for exempting the RSE from them, but declaring that special status as a presumption seems odd in a program with our scope.
