I noticed that the recent PRIV BOF had a former IETF Chair and a former AD as chairs. I hope that if/when a WG is chartered, that one of those slots will be given to someone new. I also want the Area Directors to look through their working groups and consider asking some experienced people to step down so that their position can be filled by someone new to the role. I am sure that
in some cases it will be a difficult, perhaps even unpleasant, conversation to have. I know that sometimes we used a WG chair position to help a long-time contributor justify their involvement to their employer. For the long-term health of the organization,
we must stop doing that, if only because it goes against our declaration that people participate as individuals. Sent to both the ietf@ and iesg@ mailing list; please be careful about replies. |
