- On the IESG->IAB path, I’ll offer the observation that it has been such a common migration path that many in the community may actually have come
to believe that it’s how one qualifies for the IAB, as if the IAB were in effect the IESG Emeritus. I know that is not the case but that doesn’t mean people don’t perceive it that way.
- It’s not unlikely that we’ve lost many good prospective IAB candidates to self-pruning because they have observed the IESG->IAB flow and believe
that it’s a requirement and they don’t meet it since they haven’t been an AD.
I strongly agree with this.
