If you want to look at it in those terms (I, personally, don't think it is particularly helpful), this group can specify any selection process it concludes would be desirable and effective, including having the RSAB or RSWG make open calls to the community for search committee members, select that committee, and have them go looking for an appropriate person to be RSCE. If we had them do that, that committee would then presumably ask the LLC to negotiate a contract with that person. Presumably the LLC could say "no, we won't do that" but I wouldn't expect that and, if they did so without good reason, I assume there would be an IETF community meltdown, the likes of which we have not seen since the one popularly associated with the IAB meeting in Kobe. Again, I don't think that would be desirable, but the decisions as to the process by which the RSCE is chosen really belong to this group. If the group believes that it is good to have the LLC responsible for the selection process (not just the contracting one), that is fine but, if the group also believes it wants to give the LLC guidance in how that is done, we should be able to assume that the LLC will follow that guidance. If we feel that we cannot make that assumption, then turning over authority to make the selection to the LLC would be, to use the precise technical term, really stupid. That does suggest something we should (SHOULD ?) do before the Last Call which Eliot just announced to be pending: just as the IETF Last Call and IESG process involves formally asking IANA (also an "external organization" if the LLC is one), we should formally ask the LLC if they see any difficulties in accepting and implementing any of the provisions of the document and. if so, what they are. If they do, those provisions of the document probably need adjustment. best, john
