I'm certainly in favour of transparency in the process of setting
up the Independent stream's editorial board. I could see value in
an open call for nominations. However, you're asking for it to be
set up in way that's very different from the typical editorial board
for a scholarly journal or the typical technical programme committee
for a scholarly conference. It seems to me that the editor needs
to have the final say in the membership, because s/he needs to be able
to work well with all the board members.
Also, I have no idea how to define the community for the Independent
stream. ISOC members? RIR members? ICANN community? ACM? BCS? IEEE?
Where would it end?

from the current RFC Editor.
