> Brian Carpenter wasn't an AD unless it was before 1989 so at least a 15 year gap. For the record, I was never an AD (before becoming General AD in 2005) but I had served for far too long in the IAB (1994-2002)**. So, a 3 year gap between the two. Which I for one was very happy with. I also served as a WG Chair while in the IAB, which was a feature not a bug IMHO. Of course, if an appeal related to that WG had come to the IAB, I would have needed to recuse myself. Regards Brian Carpenter ** If anyone cares at this late stage, I refused re-nomination in 2001 and 2006.
