In draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-00.txt it states at the end of sect 3.1:
Unless explicitly delegated with the consent of the IAOC, the IAD
will also fill the role of the IETF Executive Director, as described
in various IETF process BCPs.
We currently have (in our working version of the IASA BCP):
Editors' note: The preceding paragraph has generated some
comments, given that the role of the IETF Executive director is
mentioned in a number of documents, some of which are fairly old
and dusty. The editors actively solicit feedback on whether this
paragraph is ok as it stands.
We had some discussion in the IESG about this (because the IETF
Executive Director also interacts with the IESG basically on a
daily basis). I believe that in the IESG our current thinking is that
better text would be:
The IETF Administrative Director (IAD) is not the same function
as the IETF Executive Director. The IESG shall select an IETF
Executive Director (as defined in xxx, we need to fill out xxx).
Does the IETF community can agree with that?
