Hi Lakshminath,
The argument has been around why if anyone needs to be excluded from signing a recall petition. I have made a case to exclude the current nomcom members and liaisons, but can't think of a reason to exclude IAB and IESG members.
Good question. But I'm thinking that its simply good established practise to exclude the leadership from affecting too much its own evaluation, selection, or - as in this case - firing.
John notes correctly that the IAB and IESG members sometimes know quicker than other IETF contributors if one of them is disruptive or ineffective.
I would really rather attack this problem (if it exists) from another direction - by having more openness. I think we have made a LOT of progress in this area with trackers, minutes, etc, and I hope that there's a continued work on this. --Jari _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
