Harald, the first look of it seems to be comprehensive and balanced enough. But there is a problem you will have to address sooner or later which is the "usage" (whatever you name the technically competent users) representation. ISOC is supposed to include it. You can claim that them being involved, users are represented. But the more you split from the ISOC structure and formalize the things, the more you will need to introduce users/consumers representation.
Actually the "users" of the structure being discussed here are the participants in the IETF process, not the public at large. That's important to keep in mind.
The IETF standards process is not supposed to be affected by this reorganization (except, hopefully, by having better support). I agree that the IETF standards process needs to have participation from users, but doing so through management of the support infrastructure would be *significantly* convoluted....
