Appeals text in IASA BCP -06

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




I did a quick read of version -06 of the IASA BCP this morning. I'll do a more in depth review later this week, but in the meantime there is one issue that jumped out at me. The document says:


   In no circumstances may the IAB or
   ISOC Board of Trustees overturn a decision of the IAOC that involves
   a binding contract or overturn a personnel-related action (such as
   hiring, firing, promotion, demotion, performance reviews, salary
   adjustments, etc.).

This is, IMO, incorrect.  It could be corrected by:

s/IAB or ISOC Board of Trustees/IAB

The original text I proposed said IESG or IAB, because they were both in the appeals path. Somehow, in removing the IESG from the appeals path, we seem to have added the ISOC Board to this paragraph.

Not that I expect it to be done very often (if at all), but it is the nature of a not-for-profit corporate structure that the Board of Trustees has fiduciary responsibility for all activities of the corporation. So, I don't think personally think that the document should say that "in no circumstances" shall the ISOC board overturn certain types of decisions by the IAOC. In the extremely unlikely event that the IAOC took a decision that was illegal or that would bring substantial liability to the company, the ISOC Board might need to overturn it.
