draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-01 section 4 also says The members of the IAOC choose their own chair each year using a consensus mechanism of their choosing. Any appointed voting member of the IAOC may serve as the IAOC Chair; the IETF Administrative Director, the IETF Chair, the IAB Chair, the ISOC President/CEO, and non-voting liaisons are not eligible to serve as IAOC Chair. most of the 2nd sentence is redundant and not needed - once you say that only appointed members can be chair you have it all defined Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
