IAOC: delegating ex-officio responsibility

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

 



Dear Colleagues,

I have just chartered a very short draft that intends to update BCP101. It can be found at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kolkman-iasa-ex-officio-membership

The draft is very short and contains only a few sentences of substance:

   The IETF chair, the IAB chair, and the ISOC President/CEO may
   delegate their responsibilities to other persons.  The delegations by
   the IETF chair and the IAB chair need to be confirmed by the IESG and
   IAB respectively.  The terms of delegation is for a longer term for
   instance aligned with the IESG and IAB appointment cycles (roughly
   anual).

John Klensin made me aware he also had a similar idea earlier:
   http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-klensin-iaoc-member-00.txt

The main difference is between his and this draft is that John's I-D makes the person the chair delegates to a non-voting liaison. I have a small preference for the IAB and the IESG keeping the control point, and I implicitly assume that for IASA matters the persons delegated to will escalate to the chairs and ask for specific guidance when appropriate. I realize that for the Trust anybody serves on personal title. For the trust alignment with the IAOC membership is just a practical considerations.

The shared requirement is unloading the I* chairs and the ISOC president and empowering the people that serve in that role to organize themselves. (I should have paid more attention to this much earlier.)

I plan to seek a sponsoring AD for getting this I-D published as a BCP shortly. 

Assuming this is an appropriate list for further discussion,
yours,

--Olaf
