Roger,
I still do not understand the basic problem that trigger/cause that propsal. Have been alot of discussion and suggestion and problems but nothing that made me understand why, what is the underlaying cause.
It is very simple. Both the IAB and IETF chair duties are extensive, and several people believe that it would be useful to provide some freedom not just for the current but also future chairs in how they organize their work. This would probably make the chairs' job a little bit easier, and might even increase the number of people available for these jobs. It is of course essential that the chairs stay in touch of critical administrative discussions in the IAOC, for instance, but it may not be necessary for them to participate all the time or always be a voting member. (But if a particular chair feels that they want to, they can still be a voting member by having the IAB or IESG appoint them.)
