I think the IESG's concern here is that they, rather than the IAOC would like to designate who the executive director is. The executive director is very involved in making the IESG and process functions run smoothly. It seems like significant friction would be created if the executive director was not someone the IESG was comfortable with. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
