Certainly, as long as the contracts are held and administered by the LLC, dispute resolution relevant to the contracts must involve the LLC. I was thinking more of potential disputes about the strategy/policy process.

This results in a group that follows [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.
