Re: AdminRest: IASA BCP: Should IAB chair be a voting member of IAOC

I too think the IAB Chair should vote. But that raises an issue...

While I agree that consensus should be the normal operation mode, I think this body can't live with "let's wait until later and hope we know more then" as the normal means of resolving close-call conflicts. The budget proposals MUST come out of the IAOC at specific times; this is about salaries, not about standards.

If we make no other changes, we have 8 voting members. This means that it could end up 4 against 4 on an issue.
I suggest that the IAOC chair gets the power to decide a tie.

I personally think that that makes sense.

I agree that the idea makes sense

but I think that most of the IAOC should mostly work by consensus - I
expect that any issue that only garnered a bare majority of the IAOC
would wind up badly - I expect there would be times when formal voting
would be needed but I don't think that voting should be the normal
operating mode.
