how about (in response to Elwyn's comment) Although the IAD is an ISOC employee, he or she works under the direction of the IAOC. A committee of the IAOC is responsible for hiring and firing of the IAD, for reviewing the performance and for setting the compensation of the IAD. The members of this committee are appointed by the IAOC, and consist at minimum of the ISOC President and the IETF Chair. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
